abstract = {Photomultiplier tubes (PMT) have been used extensively as
the photodetector of choice in scintillation baseddetectors
for cold and thermal neutrons. However, the limitations of
PMT based scintillation neutron detectorssuch as their
sensitivity to magnetic fields or their high operating
voltages (> 1 kV) have triggered the search foralternative
photodetectors for these applications. Silicon
photomultipliers (SiPM) operate in the single photonregime,
have lower operating voltages (∼20–70 V) than PMTs and
are insusceptible to magnetic field. Additionalfeatures of
the SiPMs like their low production cost, compactness and
higher readout rates make them apotential candidate to
replace the photodetector part in these developments.
Therefore, we are developing ascintillation neutron detector
based on SiPM technology. The detector prototype with an
active detection area of13 cm × 13 cm is aimed to be used
in the future at the TREFF instrument of the Heinz
Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ)in Garching, Germany, for
neutron reflectometry experiments. In this paper, we report
the detector concept, itsdevelopment and the simulation
results for design optimization.},
