Abstract
Disclosed is a method for chemical sensitization of a silver halide emulsion comprising a sensitization step of subjecting the silver halide emulsion to chemical sensitization with a chalcogen compound or a chalcogen compound and a gold compound to produce silver chalcogenide or gold silver chalcogenide, wherein the chemical sensitization is performed under such conditions that at least a part of the silver chalcogenide or gold silver chalcogenide produced in the sensitization step can be amorphized. This method can provide a silver halide emulsion showing high sensitivity without increasing fog and degrading storability and such a silver halide emulsion.
