Provided is a manufacturing process of a rare earth activated alkaline
earth metal fluorohalide stimulable phosphor exhibiting improved
productivity accompanied with an X-ray resistance property against
repeating use upon X-ray exposure. Also disclosed is a liquid phase
manufacturing process of a rare earth activated alkaline earth metal
fluorohalide stimulable phosphor represented in following Formula (1)
possessing the steps of adding an aqueous solution containing inorganic
fluoride into a reaction mother liquor in which barium halide is
dissolved at a reaction temperature of 85-100.degree. C., to form a
crystalline precipitate of a precursor of a rare earth activated alkaline
earth metal fluorohalide stimulable phosphor, and removing a solvent from
the reaction mother liquor, wherein a precursor of a stimulable phosphor
is prepared via the foregoing steps conducted in parallel.
