Abstract
A scintillator includes a scintillator layer having a plurality of columnar crystals configured to convert radiation into light, and a covering layer configured to cover the scintillator layer. The scintillator layer includes a protrusion. The covering layer covers the scintillator layer to prevent the protrusion from breaking through the covering layer, and contains particles configured to convert radiation into light.
