N2 - In this work, luminescent emissions of beta-calcium pyrophosphate doped with terbium ions (β-Ca2P2O7:Tb3+) were studied. The Ca2P2O7:Tb3+ powders were prepared by precipitation and annealed at 900 °C for 2 h was applied on the powders to observe the beta phase. Radioluminescence measurements showed emission bands related with 5D3 (5D4)→7FJ transitions of Tb3+ ions. Three overlapped peaks at 126, 165 and 220 °C were observed in thermoluminescence response. A linear TL dose-response in the range of 0.2–10 Gy and an acceptable TL reproducibility were showed by the β-Ca2P2O7:Tb3+ samples exposed to 60Co gamma radiation. The TL glow curves were analyzed by Initial Rise method and Computational Glow-Curve Deconvolution assuming a General Order Kinetic model to evaluate the kinetic parameters related with the TL peaks.
