To provide a silver halide emulsion excellent in radiation resistance, suitability to rapid processing, processing stability and latent image stability and improved in image reproducibility, a silver halide photographic sensitive material and an image forming method using the same.

The silver halide emulsion comprises silver halide grains having a silver chloride content of ≥75 mol%, a silver iodide content of 0-5.0 mol% and a silver bromide content of 0.1-25 mol%, wherein when the average silver bromide content of vertex parts of the silver halide grains refers to A mol%, the vertex parts of the individual silver halide grains have a silver bromide content of 0.6A-1.4A.
