Popis:	Scintillating crystals are used for calorimetry in several high-energy physics experiments. For some of them, performance has to be ensured in difficult operating conditions, like a high radiation environment, very large particle fluxes and high collision rates. Results are presented here from a thorough series of measurements concerning mainly the effect of charged hadrons on lead tungstate. It is also shown how these results can be used to predict the effect on crystals due to a given flux of particles. Comment: Submitted to Proceedings Calor 2008 - XIII International Conference on Calorimetry in High Energy Physics, Pavia (Italy) 26-30 May 2008. To be published in Journal of Physics: Conference Series (8 pages, 16 figures)
