Scintillation glasses have potential application in hadron calorimeter of circular electron positron collider (CEPC) due to the advantages of simple preparation process, flexible and controllable size, and low cost. Among them, Ce³⁺ luminescent center doped scintillation glasses have better scintillation performance. Matrix glass can be classified into oxide glass, halide glass, and glass-ceramic. According to the classification of different matrix glasses, this paper focuses on the optical transmittance, light yield, decay time, and radiation resistance properties of the Ce³⁺-doped scintillation glasses. Moreover, we introduce and summarize the research progress at domestic, foreign, and GS R&D Group. In view of the research status of different glasses, the methods for improving the glass performance are discussed from two aspects of glass composition and preparation. Finally, the future research and development directions of Ce³⁺-doped scintillation glasses are prospected.
