Abstract

A scintillator structure includes a plurality of cells and a reflector covering the plurality of cells. Here, each of the plurality of cells includes a resin and a phosphor, and the phosphor contains gadolinium oxysulfide. A breaking strength of an interface between each of the plurality of cells and the reflector is 900 gf or more.

Claims (17)

1. A scintillator structure comprising:

a plurality of cells; and

a reflector covering the plurality of cells,

wherein each of the plurality of cells contains a resin and a phosphor,

the phosphor contains gadolinium oxysulfide, and

a breaking strength by a bending test of an interface between each of the plurality of cells and the reflector is 900 gf or more.

2. The scintillator structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bending test applies a force in a thickness direction of the scintillator structure.

3. The scintillator structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bending test is a bending test based on a 3-point bending test.

4. The scintillator structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein a side surface of the each of the plurality of cells is a surface that has been mechanically processed.

5. The scintillator structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the phosphor is a phosphor powder,

wherein a side surface of the each of the plurality of cells is a surface mixed by a surface in which the resin is exposed and a surface in which the phosphor powder is broken.

6. The scintillator structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein a surface treatment layer is formed on a side surface of the each of the plurality of cells.
