Аннотация:Scintillation detectors based on organic plastic or inorganic scintillators
are widely used in modern space physics and cosmic experiments. We reviewed
different detection techniques, optical and physical characteristics of scintillators,
light collection at the coupling with different type of photo-sensors. Important cosmic
experiments in the past, as well as current state of art for the development of astro-
particle and gamma-ray experiments, aimed for search of the new astrophysics, new
states of matter, neutrino oscillations, are considered.
