It has been shown recently that scintillators based on PbWO{sub 4} (PWO) single crystals are promising candidate for electromagnetic calorimetry in LHC. The origin of blue, green and red luminescence in PbWO{sub 4} crystals has been globally determined. The scintillation mechanism based on sensitization of WO{sub 4}{sup 2{minus}}, (WO{sub 3} + F) centers luminescence by Pb{sup 2+} ions has been found for PbWO{sub 4} scintillators.
