Description
Future HEP experiments at the energy and intensity frontiers present stringent challenges to fast and heavy inorganic scintillators in radiation tolerance. Up to 500 Grad and 5×10$^{18}$ n$_{eq}$/cm$^2$ of one MeV equivalent neutron fluence are expected by the forward calorimeters at the proposed Future Hadron Circular Collider (FCC-hh). This paper reports results of investigations of neutrons and protons induced radiation damage in fast and heavy inorganic scintillators, such as LYSO:Ce crystals, LuAG:Ce ceramics and BaF$_2$ crystals for applications in ultracompact, radiation hard, sampling calorimetry and precision time of flight systems. Applications for Gigahertz hard X-ray imaging will also be discussed.
