Zusammenfassung:Recent progress in the application of silica aerogel as Cherenkov radiator for present and future collider experiments are reviewed. A complete characterization of the optical and physical properties of silica aerogel will be described, as well as robustness tests towards potentially aggressive experimental conditions such as high irradiation or exposed to fluorocarbons are reported. Finally, recent tests performed with a multilayer aerogel block will be presented and discussed.
