Radiation detector

A radiation detector comprising:

• a plurality of detector elements, by means of which, during operation of the radiation detector, a detector signal is obtained;
• and
• a control device;
• wherein:
• the detector elements each have a spectral sensitivity distribution and are suitable for generating signals,
• at least one detector element comprises a compound semiconductor material, said detector element being designed for detecting radiation in the visible spectral region,
• the radiation detector is designed such that different spectral sensitivity channels of the radiation detector are formed by means of the spectral sensitivity distribution of the detector elements,
• in the spectral sensitivity channels, a channel signal assigned to a respective sensitivity channel, can be generated using the detector elements,
• the control device is designed such that contributions of different channel signals to the detector signal of the radiation detector can be controlled differently,
• wherein the control device weights contributions of channel signals to the detector signal differently relative to each other, and
• wherein the detector signal of the radiation detector is formed by means of superposition of channel signals.
