Abstract
A radiation detector comprises a scintillatorA having a first end face, a second end facedisposed on a side opposite from the first end face, and a plurality of light-scattering surfacesformed with an interval therebetween along a first direction P from the first end faceside to the second end faceside; a first photodetectoroptically coupled to the first end face; and a second photodetectoroptically coupled to the second end face. The light-scattering surfacesare formed so as to intersect the first direction P. The light-scattering surfacesinclude modified regionsR formed by irradiating the inside of the scintillatorA with laser light.
