Detection of low-energy X-rays with 1/2 and 1 inch LaBr3:Ce crystals read by SIPM arrays

M. Bonesini, R. Bertoni, R. Benocci +6

LaBr3:Ce crystals, with photomultiplier or single SiPM readout (up to 3x3 mm${}^2$) have been introduced for radiation imaging in medical physics. An R&D was pursued with 1/2" and 1"…
