ABSTRACT:
A gamma ray detector is provided that increases a detectable energy range. A position-sensitive gamma ray detecting element for low energy gamma rays101that can detect an interaction position and energy of a gamma ray is disposed in front of a pair of position-sensitive gamma ray detecting elements for high energy gamma rays102and103that can detect an interaction position and energy of a gamma ray.
