  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.
