Lanthanum halide scintillator (LaSBr) is a ceramic scintillation material composed of lanthanum bromide doped with cerium, belonging to the family of inorganic halide crystals used for radiation detection. It is widely employed in gamma-ray spectroscopy, medical imaging (PET/CT systems), nuclear security, and high-energy physics applications where fast scintillation response and good energy resolution are required. LaSBr offers advantages over traditional scintillators like NaI(Tl) through superior energy resolution and timing characteristics, making it the preferred choice for demanding detection applications despite requiring careful environmental protection due to hygroscopic sensitivity.
