[Gate-users] optical photons in LaBr3: values of absorption length, scattering length, and refractive index

[Herman van Dam]

Dear GATE users,

For those of you that are performing simulations with optical photons for LaBr3 based detector designs, the paper below can be of interest. It contains experimentally determined (wavelength dependent) values for the absorption length, the scattering length, and the refractive index of LaBr3:Ce.
