Patent ID: 10739474

Abstract:
A scintillator array includes a first scintillator element, a second scintillator element, and a reflector provided between the first and second scintillator elements and having a width of 80 μm or less therebetween. Each scintillator element includes a polycrystal containing a rare earth oxysulfide phosphor, the polycrystal having a radiation incident surface of 1 mm or less×1 mm or less in area. An average crystal grain diameter of the polycrystal is not less than 5 μm nor more than 30 μm, the average crystal grain diameter being defined by an average intercept length of crystal grains in an observation image of the polycrystal with a scanning electron microscope. A maximum length or a maximum diameter of defects on the polycrystal is 40 μm or less.
