Abstract
A high-voltage transistor voltage divider for photomultiplier tubes consists of a high-resistance linear resistive divider specifying potential distributions between dynodes and emitter followers maintaining this distribution. The divider features a low dissipation power and stable gain of the photomultiplier tube, when the average anode current varies in the entire measurement range.
