摘要：

The performances of Ce-doped Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG:Ce) and LaBr3 (LaBr3:Ce) scintillators were compared for gamma-ray detection using photomultiplier tube (XP5500B PMT) readout. For 662 keV gamma-rays (Cs-137 source), an energy resolution of 3.5% obtained for LaBr3:Ce is much better than that of 6.7% obtained for LuAG:Ce, while the estimated photofraction of 28.0% for LuAG:Ce is higher than that of 16.2% for LaBr3:Ce. The light yield non-proportionality and energy resolution versus gamma-ray energy were measured and the intrinsic resolution of the crystals was calculated. The coincidence timing resolution, obtained in this work for 511 keV annihilation quanta, was 583 ps and 204 ps, respectively, for LuAG:Ce-BaF2 and LaBr3:Ce-BaF2 detectors.
