Abstract

A large effort has been undertaken since nearly 2 years by 14 research institutes (the “Crystal Clear” collaboration, CERN RD project 18), in order to develop and investigate new dense, radiation hard and fast inorganic scintillators suitable for very good resolution electromagnetic calorimeters to be built at the new high luminosity accelerators. Other fields of interest like nuclear physics, gamma ray astronomy, medical imaging (PET), safety systems and non destructive industrial applications are also rapidly growing. Progress on cerium fluoride will be reviewed with some comments about mass scale production and cost considerations. The pro's and con's of potentially cheaper solutions based on fluoride glasses or lead compounds will be discussed. Finally some attractive candidates will be mentioned for low energy gamma ray applications.
