Abstract

A mixture of from 5% to 95% by weight of calcium tungstate and from 5% to 95% of europium activated barium fluorochloride exhibits brightness and x-ray absorption characteristics superior to that which would be predicted from the foregoing properties of the individual phosphors. Intensifying screens employing the above mixtures have a speed in excess of the commercially available intensifying screens using the present calcium tungstate x-ray phosphors.
