Abstract
Provided is a radiation detector, including: a two-dimensional light receiving element including a plurality of pixels; and a scintillator layer having multiple scintillator crystals two-dimensionally arranged on a light receiving surface of the two-dimensional light receiving element, in which: the scintillator crystal includes two crystal phases, which are a first crystal phase including a material including a plurality of columnar crystals extending in a direction perpendicular to the light receiving surface of the two-dimensional light receiving element and having a refractive index n, and a second crystal phase including a material existing between the plurality of columnar crystals and having a refractive index n; and a material having a refractive index nis placed between adjacent scintillator crystals, the refractive index nsatisfying a relationship of one of n≦n≦nand n≦n≦n.
