Abstract
Crystal detectors have been used widely for decades in high energy and nuclear physics experiments, medical instruments and homeland security applications. Novel crystal detectors are continuously being found. Future HEP experiments require bright and fast crystal detectors with excellent radiation hardness. Cost-effectiveness is also a crucial issue for crystal detectors to be used in a large volume. To face these new challenges a thorough R&D program is required to investigate and develop crystal detectors for future HEP experiments in all frontiers.

In high energy and nuclear physics experiments, total absorption electromagnetic calorimeters (ECAL) made of inorganic crystals are known for their superb energy resolution and detection efficiency for photon and electron measurements [1]
A crystal ECAL is the choice for those experiments where precision measurements of photons and electrons are crucial for their physics missions
Summary
Crystal detectors have been used widely in high energy and nuclear physics experiments, medical instruments and homeland security applications. In high energy and nuclear physics experiments, total absorption electromagnetic calorimeters (ECAL) made of inorganic crystals are known for their superb energy resolution and detection efficiency for photon and electron measurements [1]. For future HEP experiments at the energy and intensity frontiers, the crystal detectors used in the above mentioned ECALs are either not bright and fast enough, or not radiation hard enough.
