摘要: The scintillation properties of LaBr3 doped with 0.5% Ce3+ are presented. Under optical and gamma ray excitation, Ce3+ emission is observed to peak at 356 387 nm. light output 61 000±5000 photons/MeV 662 keV. More than 90% emitted a decay time 35 ns. An energy resolution (full width half maximum over the position) 2.85%±0.05% was for keV full absorption peak. A 385 ps obtained using BaF2 as second scintillator rays 60Co.
