We have developed CaF2translucent ceramics by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and investigated the scintillation and dosimeter properties, in comparison with a CaF2single crystal. Under X-ray irradiation, light emission was observed at 270 and 300 nm, due to self-trapped exciton (STE). The scintillation light yield of CaF2translucent ceramic was measured to be about 6000 photons/MeV under137Cs irradiation, and this value was smaller than that of the single crystal by a factor of approximately 2. The afterglow level, after X-ray irradiation, of the ceramic sample was lower than that of the single crystal. Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) glow peaks were observed at 100 and 150 °C in both ceramic and single crystal samples, however the TSL intensity was much stronger than that of the single crystal sample.
