This is a theoretical study about the energy response of germanium doped calcium borate glass subjected to photon irradiation in the energy range of 20 keV to 20 MeV. It has been observed that germanium doped calcium borate glass has higher TL response at incidence photon energies below 150 keV. However, the relative TL response decrease as the incident photon energy increases and the relative responses are almost constant in the energy range 150 keV to 10 MeV. The result of this study will be helpful in order to get information on the energy response of germanium doped calcium borate glass to photon irradiation as this material can be used as radiation dosimeter.
