Abstract

An x-ray detector with a scintillator element connected to a detection area of a photodiode via an optically transparently curing adhesive. To increase the sensitivity of the x-ray detector, it is proposed to mix the adhesive with a powder prepared from a material with a refractive index of at least 1.8 and an average grain size of less than 100 nm.
