Radiation detection element
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a radiation detection element which can inexpensively be manufactured. The detection element including, as a main component, a base resin not containing any fluorescent substance at all is used for radiation measurement.
1. A radiation detection element comprising a base resin as a main component, the radiation detection element not comprising any fluorescent substance.
2. The radiation detection element according to claim 1 , wherein the base resin is a polymer with an aromatic ring.
3. The radiation detection element according to claim 2 , wherein the polymer with an aromatic ring is a polymer selected from polystyrene, polyvinyltoluene, polyethylene terephthalate, and copolymers or mixtures thereof.
4. A radiation detector comprising an interaction portion which interacts with radiation to emit light and a detecting portion which detects light emitted from the interaction portion, the interaction portion comprising the radiation detection element according to claim 1 .
5. The radiation detector according to claim 4 , wherein said detecting portion is a photomultiplier with a sensible wavelength peak of 300 nm to 500 nm.
6. The radiation detection element according to claim 1 , wherein at least one surface of the radiation detection element is polished.
7. The radiation detection element according to claim 1 , further comprising a reflection layer on a surface of the radiation detection element.
