Calcium tungstate (CaWO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the tungstate mineral family, characterized by a dense crystalline structure. It is primarily used in scintillation detectors for radiation measurement and in specialized optical applications, where its luminescence properties enable detection of gamma rays and X-rays in medical imaging, nuclear monitoring, and high-energy physics research. Its high atomic number and dense crystal lattice make it an alternative to other scintillator materials in applications requiring compact, efficient radiation detection.
