Abstract Abstract: The general dosimetric properties of local natural CaF2 are investigated using the thermoluminescence technique. It shows very good dosimetric properties with low fading and linear dose response (4 x 10-2 - 104 Gy ). In addition to that, the trap parameters such as activation energy , kinetic order, sensitivity and fading were undertaken to satisfy the feasibility of using the present sample as - ray dosimeter. Keywords: TLD, - ray, Dosimetry, CaF2 .
