Abstract
A ceramic scintillator array of an embodiment includes: a plurality of scintillator segments each composed of a sintered compact of a rare earth oxysulfide phosphor; a first reflective layer interposed between the scintillator segments adjacent to each other; and a second reflective layer arranged on a side of surfaces, on which an X-ray is incident, of the plurality of scintillator segments. A difference in dimension between an end portion of a surface of the second reflective layer and a most convex portion of the surface of the second reflective layer is 30 μm or less.
Claims8
A ceramic scintillator array comprising:
- a plurality of scintillator segments each composed of a sintered compact of a rare earth oxysulfide phosphor;
- a first reflective layer interposed between the scintillator segments adjacent to each other in a manner to integrate the plurality of scintillator segments, the first reflective layer comprising a first transparent resin and first reflective particles dispersed in the first transparent resin;
- and
- a second reflective layer arranged on a side of surfaces on which an X-ray is incident of the plurality of scintillator segments, the second reflective layer comprising a second transparent resin and second reflective particles dispersed in the second transparent resin;
- wherein a glass transition point of the first transparent resin is 60° C. or higher, and a molecular structure of the first transparent resin has a cyclo structure including no double bond,
- wherein a glass transition point of the second transparent resin is 30° C. or lower, and a molecular structure of the second transparent resin has a double bond,
- wherein the first reflective layer contains, by mass ratio, 15% or more and 60% or less of the first transparent resin and 40% or more and 85% or less of the first reflective particles, and
- wherein the second reflective layer contains, by mass ratio, 15% or more and 60% or less of the second transparent resin and 40% or more and 85% or less of the second reflective particles.
