Abstract
A radiation detector includes a Peltier device (electronic cooling unit) for cooling a radiation detecting element, and a heat releasing part of the Peltier device is in thermal contact with a cold finger (thermally conductive part). The cold finger is made of a material with higher thermal conductivity than that of the base, and penetrates the base. The heat from the radiation detecting element is conducted from the heat releasing part of the Peltier device to the cold finger, and is dissipated to an area outside of the radiation detector through the cold finger. As such, heat is efficiently dissipated from the radiation detecting element.
