Patent number: 10338235Abstract: The radiation detector according to the present invention is always able to calculate the summation value accurately, regardless of the intensity of the fluorescent emission that is produced in the scintillator. That is, if the method for calculating the summation value set forth in the present invention is used, then the number of instantaneous intensity data d that are added together each time a fluorescent emission is produced in the scintillator will be larger the greater the intensity of the fluorescent emission. Doing this prevents the intensity of an intense fluorescent emission from being understated. Moreover, the summing portion in the present invention is able to calculate the summation value with high reliability. This is because the instantaneous intensity data used in calculating the summation value are above a threshold value a, causing the signal-to-noise ratios to be adequately high and the reliability to be high as well.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Masayuki Nakazawa

Publication number: 20180284297Abstract: Provided is a radiation detector that is capable of accurately calculating the time of occurrence of fluorescence. In addition to a configuration that calculates a single signal time, the present invention, in view of the case in which a multiple event occurs, also has a configuration that on the basis of an added signal generated by adding detection signals together, calculates the time of occurrence of fluorescence (added signal time).
