Abstract
The temperature dependence of BGO coupled with photomultiplier tube R5610A-01 was studied in the range of −30–30°C. The temperature coefficient of the BGO and R5610A as a whole was tested to be −1.82%/°C. And the temperature coefficient of the gain of the R5610A is −0.44%/°C which was tested in the same situation using a blue LED. Thus the temperature coefficient of BGO’s light yield can be evaluated as −1.38%/°C.
