【 摘 要 】

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.
