Description

LaCl3(Ce) Scintillation Crystal is a nuclear radiation detection material. It offers high energy resolution and time resolution, good energy non-linearity, and fast decay time. It provides NaI’s light with far better timing. The host is lanthanum chloride.

LaCl3(Ce) Scintillation Crystal vs NaI(Tl)

Light yield is equivalent to NaI:Tl. Decay time is 1/10 of NaI:Tl. Energy resolution is 1/2 to 1/3 of NaI:Tl. It delivers faster and sharper spectra. Nuclide lines separate more cleanly. 1/10 the decay means 10x the rate capability. 1/2 to 1/3 the resolution number is a big win. The comparison favors LaCl3(Ce) on speed and resolution. Compare with our NaI(Tl) Scintillation Crystal.

LaCl3(Ce) Scintillation Crystal advantages

Good mechanical properties. Good temperature properties with a wide temperature range and consistent energy resolution. It is resolution that holds across temperatures. Its fast decay suits high rates. Its mechanical strength simplifies handling. Consistent resolution avoids recalibration. Wide range suits outdoor monitors.

Typical applications

Environmental monitoring. Oil well logging. Nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine security. Anti-terrorist screening. Nuclide identification. Border monitors need fast nuclide ID. Well-logging tools value temperature stability. Security portals need fast decisions. Match the crystal to the mission. Anti-terror screening needs the speed. Identify nuclides faster and surer.
