Ultrafast and Radiation Hard Inorganic Scintillators for Future HEP Experiments

Future HEP experiments at the energy and intensity frontiers require fast and ultrafast inorganic scintillators with excellent radiation hardness to face the challenges of unprecedented event rate and severe radiation environment. This paper reports recent progresses in fast and ultrafast inorganic scintillators, such as LYSO:Ce crystals and LuAG:Ce ceramics for an inorganic scintillator based shashlik sampling calorimeter and yttrium doped BaF2 crystals for the proposed Mu2e-II experiment. Applications of ultrafast inorganic scintillators in Gigahertz hard X-ray imaging will also be discussed.
