Abstract

A radiation detector comprises a scintillator capable of emitting light by radiation and a photodetector for detecting the light emitted from the scintillator, the scintillator being composed of a sintered body prepared by sintering rare earth oxysulfide as a body starting material containing a densification additive by hot isostactic pressing. The sintered body has a high light output and a high density.
