Abstract

In this paper, the effects of dose and dose rate on the light output of LaBr3:Ce scintillator are studied in detail. The relative light output of the crystal is measured in real time by measuring the photoelectric current of the detector during irradiation at a 137Cs irradiation facility. It is found that the light output of the LaBr3:Ce scintillator continues to decrease with the increase in dose. Permanent radiation damage in LaBr3:Ce is also observed at a cumulative dose of 100kGy.
