Radiation detector, and X-ray analysis apparatus and radiation detection method using the same

摘要

There are provided a radiation detector capable of detecting radiation without occurrence of dead time while maintaining an exposure state in which radiation enters continuously, and an X-ray analysis apparatus and a radiation detection method using the radiation detector. A radiation detector 100 that detects radiation in synchronization with an external apparatus 200, includes: a sensor 110 that generates pulses when radiation particles are detected; a plurality of counters 140a, 140b provided so as to be able to count the pulses; and a control circuit 160 configured to switch a counter to count the pulses among the plurality of counters 140a, 140b, when receiving a synchronization signal from the external apparatus 200.
