英文摘要：

Scintillation crystals with high density, fast decay, high light yield and low cost have been the focus of attention due to the urgent needs in high energy physics experiments, nuclear medical imaging, security inspection and geological survey. Among them, Ce^3＋ doped Lu-based scintillation crystals have been extensively investigated and applied in various industrial fields. The recent progress on crystal growth, scintillation properties and applications of Lu-based scintillation crystals, including Lu2SiO4, Lu2O3, Lu3 Al5O12, are reviewed. The further development of Lu-based scintillation crystals is presented.
