  Dense active systems are widespread in nature, examples range from bacterial
colonies to biological tissues. Dense clusters of active particles can be
obtained by increasing the packing fraction of the system or taking advantage
of a peculiar phenomenon named motility-induced phase separation (MIPS). In
this work, we explore the phase diagram of a two-dimensional model of active
glass and show that disordered active materials develop a rich collective
behaviour encompassing both MIPS and glassiness. We find that, although the
glassy state is almost indistinguishable from that of equilibrium glasses, the
mechanisms leading to its fluidization do not have any equilibrium counterpart.
Our results can be rationalized in terms of a crossover between a low-activity
regime, where glassy dynamics is controlled by an effective temperature, and a
high-activity regime, which drives the system towards MIPS.
