Glass and glass ceramics can be considered as alternatives to the crystal-based scintillators widely used in radiation detectors for the high-energy physics experiments as well as for applications in medical diagnostics. They can be prepared in a variety of geometrical shapes such as blocks, plates and fibers. Large quantities can be fabricated in a relatively short period of time. However, most of the glasses do not feature scintillation properties. Recently, it has been shown that novel glasses of binary composition enable fabrication of scintillating glasses heavily doped with Ce. Lead-free glasses with the composition BaO*2SiO2:Ce (DSB:Ce) have a density of 3.7 g/cm3 and were found to be radiation hard under irradiation with photons and high energy protons. Here we report the present status of the overall performance of small and large DSB:Ce samples. Moreover, the contribution will report on test results of 3x3 arrays of homogenous blocks and sampling modules assembled from DSB/Pb layers exposed to energy-marked photons up to 250 MeV.
