Abstract
A radiation detector includes: a scintillator including a pair of end surfaces opposing each other in a first direction and one side surface coupling the pair of end surfaces; and a semiconductor photodetector including a semiconductor substrate. A length of the scintillator in the first direction is longer than a length of the scintillator in a second direction orthogonal to the one side surface. A length of the one side surface in the first direction is longer than a width of the one side surface in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction. The semiconductor substrate includes a photodetection region disposed in a first portion and a first electrode and a second electrode disposed in a second portion. The photodetection region includes a plurality of avalanche photodiodes arranged to operate in Geiger mode and a plurality of quenching resistors.
