In this paper the authors review solved and some of remaining problems in development of CeF[sub 3] scintillator. CeF[sub 3] emerges as a dense (6.16 g/cc), fast (23 ns), and reasonably efficient (2,400 photons/MeV) materials with potential applications in high energy and nuclear physics experiments. Despite significant progress in technology the level of uncontrolled impurities and defects in present crystals is still too high, posing problems like scintillation light trapping and radiation damage. They speculate about the possibility of electron self-trapping and nonradiative recombination of Ce sites leading to limited light output and intrinsic radiation hardness of CeF[sub 3].
