A systematic investigation of the properties of cerium fluoride monocrystals has been performed by the ''Crystal Clear'' collaboration in view of a possible use of such crystals for the construction of high precision electromagnetic calorimeters for the future generation of high luminosity accelerators. A large sample of different crystals grown by several producers has been studied. The spectroscopic characteristics, the transmission, luminescence aid excitation spectra and the decay time curves are analysed. The light yield of the different crystals is measured with photomultipliers and Si photodiodes and compared to reference standards like BGO and NaI(Tl). The radiation damage behaviour is then presented for gamma and neutron irradiations, at different doses and dose rates, including thermal and optical bleaching.
