Product overview

Lanthanum Bromide doped with Cerium Chloride (Ce:LaBr3, LBC)scintillation crystals () belong to BGRI’s potent product, which have the light outputs of 1.5~1.6 times as much as that of NaI:TI, and their decay time is 17ns~25ns, only 1/20~1/10 of NaI:TI. It can be used for almost fields of unclear radiation detection.

Advantages of LaBr3(Ce) crystals
Best energy resolution
Higher light output than NaI(Tl)
Excellent linearity
Excellent light output stability with temperature
High count rate capabilities
High effective atomic number

Scitlion is able to offer
