Abstract
There is provided a radiation detector capable of discriminating a kind of rays in radiation. The radiation detector includes a scintillator and a discriminator. The scintillator scintillates depending on the type of radiation and generates a first output signal and second output signals after the first output signal. The second output signals vary the signal pattern thereof with a kind of rays in radiation. The discriminator discriminates a kind of rays in radiation based on the first signal and the second signals. The scintillator has multiple scintillation characteristics, and includes Gd O S (GOS) or Y O S (YOS), for example.
