Technical manual: a survey of scintillating medium for high-energy particle detection

Abstract

There are various particle detection methods used nowadays and the most common is using scintillators. Among scintillating materials, solid plastic and water-based liquid scintillators (WbLS) are the latest development. In particular, WbLS allows researchers to apply different particle detection methods for increased experiment efficiency. This survey attempts to make an overview on detection methods and detectors in high-energy physics using scintillators. It is meant as a summary for those new to scintillator detectors and looking for general material on the topic.

UPDATED: This TM is a short summary meant as reference for those new to scintillators. This is an addition to other scintillator-related works published, and it is not meant to be published separately in a peer-reviewed journal
