In this work we will present the characterization, in terms of gamma response and internal activity of newly developed crystals that contains Lanthanum in their chemical formula.

Abstract
In this work we will present the characterization, in terms of gamma response and internal activity of newly developed crystals that contains Lanthanum in their chemical formula. In particular we tested two LaBr3:Ce,Sr, one CLLBC and two CLLB crystals with different volumes. These crystals just overcome the prototype stage and, even if the production in still not standardized at least for large optics, they have been very recently commercialized in sizes interesting for high-energy gamma-ray spectroscopy, as for application in nuclear physics experiments. In particular, we will report on the study of the decay time, light yield and energy resolution with gamma rays, on the response as a function of the gamma interaction point and on the internal activity due to the presence of Lanthanum.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
