Abstract

A radiation detector is disclosed. The radiation detector includes a sensor unit having a plurality of sensor elements for generating a sensor signal; an evaluation unit having a plurality of evaluation elements for evaluating and converting the sensor signal into an output signal; and a signal processing unit directly following the evaluation unit for processing the output signal, each evaluation element being connected to an associated sensor element via a respective electrical interconnect element including an interconnect capacitance and an individual length. The interconnect capacitances are different and as a result lead to different signal properties being exhibited by the output signals. At least some of the evaluation elements including an additional actuating element, the actuating elements of different evaluation elements being different from one another and being chosen such that the different signal properties of the output signals are aligned.
