abstract = {Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are solid-state
photodetectors based on Geiger mode avalanche diode
technology. The features of SiPMs such as low operating
voltages, insusceptibility to magnetic field and low
production costs make it a very appealing candidate for
single photon detection applications. In the recent past its
applicability in neutron detection had been assessed and
proved feasible. Motivated by this investigation, a new kind
of scintillation neutron detector based on digital SiPMs is
under development. This detector prototype with an active
area of 13 cm × 13 cm, is assembled with SiPM modules from
Philips Digital Photon Counting and a 6Li glass
scintillator. It is aimed to be used in the future for
neutron reflectometry (NR) at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz
Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching, Germany for the TREFF instrument.
In order to achieve the goal of two dimensional spatial
resolution of 1 mm × 1 mm, and a neutron counting rate of
20 Mcps/m², non-linearity characterization of the SiPM has
been performed. This work presents the simulation results
performed using Geant4 tool-kit for the SiPM proportionality
response at the pixel and cell levels under the design
considerations of this detector prototype.},
