Silver halide photographic emulsion and silver halide photographic lightsensitive material using the same

摘要

A silver halide photographic emulsion, wherein at least 70% of the total projected area of silver halide grains contained therein is occupied by silver bromochloroiodide hexagonal epitaxial tabular grains each having (111) faces as main planes and an epitaxial protrusion portion, wherein the epitaxial protrusion portion exists on at least one apex portion of the hexagon, and, when an average silver chloride content of the epitaxial protrusion portions of all the grains having the epitaxial protrusion portion is expressed as CL mol %, a silver chloride content of each epitaxial protrusion portion of each grain falls within the range of 0.7 CL to 1.3 CL.
