Abstract: Both fast and slow components from a BaF2 scintillator made in Artifitial Crystal Institute of China have been observed. The properties such as light yield, time resolution, energy resolution, energy linearity, technical attenuation length etc have been measured. The time resolution (σ) equal to 59ps for γ-rays from 60Co source; The energy resolution equal to 12.1% for γ-rays from 137Cs source. These paremeters approach advanced level. The properties of BaF2 crystal show a bright future in the application of BaF2 to nuclear physics, nuclear medicine and particle physics.
