A portable package including an inhaling flavor product including a flavor base material configured by a non-tobacco material, a tobacco raw material that has undergone an alkali treatment and emits an inhaling flavor component as a vapor phase, and a container portion that contains the tobacco raw material and the flavor base material, wherein the container portion limits a movement of at least one of the tobacco raw material and the flavor base material so as to maintain the tobacco raw material and the flavor base material in a non-contacting state, and the tobacco raw material and the flavor base material are arranged within a same space constructed by the container portion.

Method for producing flavor source and package

A method for producing a flavor source that supports an inhaling flavor component contained in a tobacco raw material, comprises: step A of performing an alkali treatment on the tobacco raw material; and step B of arranging an alkali-treated tobacco raw material and a flavor base material configured by non-tobacco material within a same space in such a way that the alkali-treated tobacco raw material and the flavor base material are maintained in a non-contacting state, thereby inducing the flavor base material to support the inhaling flavor component emitted as a vapor phase from the tobacco raw material.

According to an embodiment, a radiation detection device includes a scintillator layer, a plurality of detectors, a setting unit, an identifier, and a corrector. The scintillator layer is configured to convert radiation into scintillation light. The detectors are arranged along a first surface facing the scintillator layer to detect light. The setting unit is configured to set one of the detectors as a first detector to be corrected. The identifier is configured to identify, out of the detectors, a second detector that detects a synchronization signal synchronizing with a first signal detected by the first detector. The corrector is configured to correct an energy spectrum of light detected by the first detector on the basis of a second signal serving as the synchronization signal in signals detected by the second detector, the first signal, and characteristic X-ray energy of a scintillator raw material constituting the scintillator layer.
