**LBC (Lanthanum BromoChloride) LaBr** **2.85****Cl****0.15****: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.
