Abstract
The paper used 137Cs and 60Co γ sources to measure and analyze the effects of different voltage, gain, count time of photomultiplier tube and different distance of sources on the energy resolution of LaBr3(Ce) crystal; the relationship curves were obtained quantitatively. The experiment values are in good agreement with MCNP simulation results. The results show that the energy resolution of LaBr3(Ce) is negatively correlated with voltage and gain; the gain is more influential. The energy resolution of LaBr3(Ce) is positively correlated with detection distance and count time; the detection distance is more influential. The paper used picosecond X-ray generated by pulsed power accelerator “Qiangguang-?” to excite the LaBr3(Ce) crystal and measure its fluorescence decay time and emission spectrum. The results are consistent with the available experimental data of other scholars and verify the excellent time response of LaBr3(Ce). With the increase in X-ray energy, the peak emission wavelength shifts towards infrared direction, which can better match the spectral response of photocathode.
