March 7th, 2019 - High Resolution LBC Scintillators

High-resolution LBC scintillators from Berkeley Nucleonics serve as an excellent alternative to LaBr3:Ce scintillators. 

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 suffer from the same La-138 background as LaBr3. Sizes ranging from pixels for arrays to volumes as large as 102 x 127 mm are currently available.
