Scintillation X-Ray and Gamma Radiation Detector | Lanthanum Bromide LaBr3(Ce) Lanthanum Bromide, or LaBr3(Ce), provides an outstanding energy resolution for a scintillator. FWHM (full width at half maximum) is below 3.0% at 662keV on large production: the average values for the premium designs are available today at 2.6%…

LBC (Lanthanum BromoChloride) LaBr 2.85Cl0.15:Ce scintillators have similar properties to the well-known LaBr3:Ce crystals found in Isotope Identifiers (RIIDs).Energy resolutions around 3 % FWHM (662 keV) are standard and the material is mechanically a little stronger than LaBr3. In contrast to background free CeBr3, LBC crystals…

Berkeley Nucleonics is thrilled to announce its latest alternative to the traditional readout of scintillators with photomultiplier tubes: Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). They are mechanically compact, require low voltage operation, and are insensitive to magnetic fields. In practice, SiPM detectors behave differently than photomultiplier tubes in the areas…

The best sensitivity for detecting the presence of a radioactive source is typically a large NaI detector. For this purpose, the 3×3 inch NaI detector is readily available and most commonly selected. Good energy resolution can also be obtained with large NaI detectors. Generally, these detectors give…
