Sub-3mm spatial resolution from a large monolithic LaBr3 (Ce) scintillator

Sub-3mm spatial resolution from a large monolithic LaBr3 (Ce) scintillator

A Compton camera prototype for ion beam range monitoring via prompt (< 1 ns) gamma detection in hadron therapy is being developed and characterized at the Medical Physics Department of LMU Munich. The system consists of a large (50x50x30 mm3) monolithic LaBr3(Ce) scintillation crystal as absorber...
