For the future JET deuterium-tritium (DT) campaigns numerous gamma-ray diagnostics, in particular the JET Gamma-ray Camera (GC) and the JET Gamma-ray Spectrometer (GS), were upgraded in the last few years. The upgrade of GC and GS included replacement of detector modules in order to allow operation at expected high count rate of ~0.5 Mcps on the scintillator front surface of 506 mm2 for each GC crystal and 7 squared inches for GS as well as to improve energy resolution to equal or better than 5% at gamma-ray energy above 1.1 MeV for both diagnostics. Within the JET4 Enhancements Project, performance of a number of photodetectors including multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC), PIN diode and photomultiplier tube (PMT) connected to scintillators was investigated. Upgraded detector modules are based on fast scintillators with a decay time of about 20 ns, LaBr3:Ce and CeBr3, coupled to MPPC and PMT for GC and GS, respectively. Results on energy resolution obtained with upgraded diagnostics, already installed at JET, are presented and compared to those collected in laboratory conditions.
