Material selection depends on what type of radiation you’re measuring, required energy resolution, operating temperature range, count rate, and cost constraints. NaI(Tl) is the most widely used general-purpose gamma detector. CeBr3 offers superior energy resolution without requiring cooling. LaBr3 provides excellent timing and resolution but is more expensive. CLYC and CLLBC are dual-mode gamma/neutron detectors suitable for SNM detection. SrI2 delivers the highest resolution available in a room-temperature scintillator. BNC’s applications team can recommend the best material based on your specific requirements.
