Abstract
In this work, the scintillation properties of Cs <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> LaCl <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</sub> and Cs <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> LaBr <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</sub> single crystals doped with various Ce concentrations (0.5 at.%-40 at.%) were studied. In the decay time profiles, both the fast (~50 ns) and slow (~500 ns) components decrease with increasing Ce concentration. The fast decay component dominates with high Ce concentration.

Energy resolution was improved from 20 at.% to 8 at.% with higher Ce concentration.
