<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new apparatus and method for detecting radiation for detecting radiation such as X rays, α rays, β rays, γ rays or neutron rays at high sensitivity. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for detecting radiation for taking out radiation as electric signals includes: a scintillator for converting incident radiation into ultraviolet rays of wavelength of ≤220 nm, or comprising a LaF<SB>3</SB>crystal doped with Nd and a metal fluoride crystal like barium fluoride emitting core valence; and a diamond thin film sensor for guiding the ultraviolet rays emitted by the scintillator to convert the ultraviolet rays into electric signals. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
