Spectral matching factors for LaBr sub(3):Ce crystals coupled to Hamamatsu H8500 family PMTs

The matching between the spectral distribution of the scintillation light from a LaBr sub(3):Ce crystal and the spectral distribution of the quantum efficiency of a Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) can be characterized by a matching factor whose value depicts, in the range from 0 to 1, the efficiency of P...

Zusammenfassung:The matching between the spectral distribution of the scintillation light from a LaBr sub(3):Ce crystal and the spectral distribution of the quantum efficiency of a Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) can be characterized by a matching factor whose value depicts, in the range from 0 to 1, the efficiency of PMT for the crystal. A systematic survey of literature was carried out identifying a set of 44 LaBr sub(3):Ce emission spectra and 11 spectral quantum efficiencies of PMTs, all published in the years 2002-2010. Results showing the values of matching factors calculated for all the spectral combinations are presented and commented upon.
