abstract = {The demand for an alternative to 3He tubes in neutron
detectors is growing. Specifically, the increase in
challenging requirements for applications in research,
industry, safety and homeland security triggered the search
for better-suited detectors. Therefore, we developed a high
performance, comparatively low-cost and easy to build cold
neutron detector prototype (13.6 cm × 13.6 cm active area),
employing digital silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) from
Philips and a glass scintillator. The optical front end of
the detector consists of a GS20 scintillator, enriched in
6Li, a light guide, SiPM arrays and an aluminum cap. In
order to find the optimal front-end design, a series of
Geant4 simulations were performed. In this work, we present
a comparison between simulation results and measured
validation data, considering the average number of photons
detected and the maximum ratio (brightest pixel response
divided by the sum of all pixel responses), for multiple
design configurations.},
