[Problems to be Solved] A radiation detector, which is improved in the detection efficiency of a photodetector for light emitted by a scintillator, which has excellent long-term operational stability, and which is excellent in time resolution and count rate characteristics, is provided with the use of the scintillator with a short fluorescence lifetime. [Means to Solve the Problems] A radiation detector is constructed by installing an optical wavelength conversion layer, which is composed of, for example, an organic fluorescent substance using polyvinyl toluene as a base material, between a scintillator composed of a fluoride single crystal, such as a Ce-containing LiCaAlF 6 crystal, and a photodetector having a light entrance window material composed of a transparent glass material such as borosilicate glass. In the radiation detector, the peak wavelength of light emitted by the scintillator is 360 nm or less, and the peak wavelength of light after conversion by the optical conversion layer is 400 nm or more. Preferably, the refractive indexes of the scintillator and the optical wavelength conversion layer are both 1.35 to 1.65.

[Problems to be Solved] To provide a novel ultraviolet light receiving element which is selectively sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, and a method for measuring the dose of ultraviolet radiation using the ultraviolet light receiving element. [Means to Solve the Problems] An ultraviolet detecting layer composed of a thin film of a metal fluoride, such as cerium fluoride, lithium fluoride, magnesium fluoride or calcium fluoride, is formed on a substrate of silica glass, sapphire or the like. Further, at least a pair of an anode and a cathode are formed on the ultraviolet detecting layer to prepare an ultraviolet light receiving element. This ultraviolet light receiving element changes in electric resistivity in accordance with the dose of incident ultraviolet radiation. Thus, the dose of ultraviolet radiation can be measured by taking out and measuring the change as an electric signal.

[Problem] To provide a method of producing a pretreated metal fluoride containing impurities such as oxygen in decreased amounts and a fluoride crystal containing impurities such as oxygen in decreased amounts and having excellent optical properties such as transparency. [Means for Solution] A metal fluoride is heated in a temperature range of not lower than 300° K but not higher than 1780° K in the co-presence of a carbonyl fluoride of an amount of not less than 1/100 mol per mol of the metal fluoride to thereby obtain a pretreated metal fluoride while removing oxygen and water from the starting metal fluoride and from the interior of the production furnace. Further, the pretreated metal fluoride as a starting material is heated and melted, and a fluoride crystal of a high quality is obtained from the obtained melt by a crystal growing method such as a melt pull-up method or a melt pull-down method.

[Object] To provide a neutron scintillator that is constituted of a resin composition including inorganic fluorescent substance particles and has an excellent neutron/³ ray discrimination ability even when an optical transparency of the resin composition is poor due to a discrepancy of refractive indices and the like and fluorescence due to neutrons cannot be taken out sufficiently. [Solving Means] In a neutron scintillator constituted of a resin composition including a resin and inorganic fluorescent substance particles that include at least one type of neutron capture isotope selected from lithium-6 and boron-10, such as Eu: LiCaAlF6, the resin composition additionally includes a neutron-insensitive fluorescent substance having a different fluorescence property. Neutrons and ³ rays can be discriminated using a difference in the fluorescence property such as a fluorescence lifetime and an emission wavelength between the case where neutrons enter and the case where ³ rays enter.
