Highlights:

• Beta Particle excited thermoluminescence (TL) of NaF and NaF:Tm features are reported.
• NaF is presented as a promising alternative to LiF for developing highly sensitive thermoluminescence dosimeters.
• Tm doping affects the trap distribution in the temperature region of dosimetric interest.
