      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.},
