Abstract: Future HEP experiments at the energy and intensity frontiers require fast inorganic scintillators with excellent radiation hardness to face the challenges of unprecedented event rate and severe radiation environment. This paper reports recent progress in applications of fast inorganic scintillators for future HEP experiments, such as a thin layer inorganic scintillator based optical calorimeter and a precision MIP timing detector proposed for the CMS upgrade at the HL-LHC, undoped CsI crystals for the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab and yttrium doped BaF2 crystals for the proposed Mu2e-II experiment. Applications of very fast inorganic scintillators, such as yttrium doped BaF2 crystals, for Gigahertz hard X-ray imaging for the proposed Marie project at LANL will also be discussed.
