A radiation detector device is disclosed and includes a photosensor and a scintillation device coupled to the photosensor. The scintillation device includes a scintillator crystal enclosed within a casing. The scintillator crystal is optically coupled to a window at an end of the casing. The scintillation device includes a dielectric gas inside at least part of the casing. The dielectric gas is adapted to reduce or prevent static discharge within the scintillation device.
