    In this paper, 25 mm lanthanum bromide scintillation crystals with 5%Ce3+ and different Sr2+ doping concentrations (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% in molar ratio) were successfully grown by spontaneous nucleation vertical Bridgman method. Xray excited emission spectra, transmission spectra and pulse height spectra of these crystals were measured. Results show that, the emission spectra waveform of LaBr3∶Ce crystals with different Sr2+ doping concentrations is basically consistent under Xray excitation, and the emission peak shows a significant red shift compared with that of sample without Sr2+ doping. With the increase of Sr2+doping concentration, the emission peak of LaBr3∶Ce,Sr crystal shows a slight red shift. There is no obvious absorption peak range from 350 to 800 nm of LaBr3∶Ce,Sr crystals with different Sr2+ doping concentrations. Compared with LaBr3∶Ce crystals, transmittance of 0.3% and 0.5% Sr2+doped LaBr3∶Ce crystals decrease. In addition, with the increase of Sr2+doping concentration, the energy resolution of the crystal increases correspondingly. LaBr3∶Ce,0.5%Sr crystal has the highest energy resolution of 2.99%@662 keV. The energy resolution of the encapsulated LaBr3∶Ce,0.5%Sr crystal with size of 25 mm×25 mm is 2.93%@662 keV.
