    Scintillators and Cherenkov crystals are widely used to build compact electromagnetic calorimeters (ECALs), but their lattice effects are usually neglected. When a charged particle impinges along crystallographic planes or axes, it experiences a coherent interaction with the Coulomb field of the lattice atoms averaged along the plane or axis [1]. At high energies, in high-Z crystals, this...
