✦ Synopsis

The performances and the potentialities of applications of a LaCl 3 :Ce scintillator have been investigated deep underground in the Gran Sasso Laboratory of the I.N.F.N. In particular, the light response, the a=b ratio, the a=b discrimination capability and the radioactive contaminations have been studied. The results of an experimental search for spontaneous cluster decay in La isotopes are also presented.

LaCl 3 :5%Ce crystals with diameter of 25 mm were grown by modified non-vacuum Bridgman method. Their photo-luminescence at temperature from 80 to 500 K in steps of 50 K were measured by the single-photon counting method with FLS920 spectrofluorimeter. It was found that the total emission intensity
