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

Abstract

A silver halide photographic emulsion comprising grains, wherein 70% or more of the total projected area of the grains is occupied by silver halide grains each meeting requirements (a) to (d) below (a) the grain is composed of a tabular silver halide host grain having two mutually parallel main planes and aspect ratio of 2 or more, and a silver halide protrusion portion epitaxially junctioned on the surface of the host grain; (b) the silver bromide contents of both the host grain and the protrusion portion are 70 mol % or more; (c) the percentage of the silver amount in the protrusion is 12% or less of the silver amount in the host grain; and (d) the grain has a shallow electron-trapping zone.
