[Problems to be Solved] It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel radiographic image detector which can detect radiation, such as hard X-rays or γ-rays, with high sensitivity and which is excellent in position resolution and count rate characteristic. [Means to Solve the Problems] A radiographic image detector comprises a combination of a scintillator, such as a lanthanum fluoride crystal containing neodymium, for converting incident radiation into ultraviolet rays; and a gas multiplication ultraviolet image detector for converting ultraviolet rays into electrons, amplifying such electrons by use of a gas electron avalanche phenomenon, and detecting the electrons. The radiographic image detector is characterized in that the gas multiplication ultraviolet image detector is basically constituted by a photoelectric conversion substance, such as cesium iodide or cesium telluride, for converting ultraviolet rays into electrons; a gas electron multiplier for amplifying electrons by use of the gas electron avalanche phenomenon; and a pixel electrode having an amplification function and a detection function.

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.
