The scintillation yields of CaF 2 crystals with different doping concentration of Europium have been measured at low temperatures and their bolometric behavior has been investigated. After these studies we have constructed the first scintillating bolometer where the heat and scintillation pulses produced by charged particles are simultaneously recorded. With this method a strong suppression of the background from α-particles in the energy region of interest for searches on double beta decay of 48 Ca can be achieved.
