Abstract
The article is an overview of the research activity made in the framew ork of the Crystal Clear Collaboration aimed at obtaining scintillatin g glasses able to fit the constraints imposed for the active medium of the central Electromagnetic Calorimeter at CMS, The manufacturing of heavy metal fluoride glasses doped with Ce3+ is discussed. The lumines cence and scintillation characteristics as well as the radiation hardn ess properties are extensively studied in the case of Ce doped fluoroh afnate, found to be the most convenient glass scintillator for high en ergy physics applications.
