Abstract
A radiation detectordetects radiation that passed through a specimenby discriminating it by a plurality of energy regions. The radiation detectorincludes a radiation detecting sectionwhich generates output signals corresponding to energy of the incident radiation, and a signal processing sectionwhich discriminates output signals by first through N-th signal discrimination thresholds Tthrough Tand acquires regional counts Athrough Aas radiation counts in the plurality of energy regions Wthrough Wby counting the discriminated output signals. The first through N-th signal discrimination thresholds Tthrough Tare set so that reference regional counts Athrough Aas regional counts in the plurality of energy regions Wthrough Wwhen the radiation detecting sectiondetects radiation (reference radiation) before passing through the specimenbecome substantially equal.
