      abstract     = {In recent years, the price increase of 3He has triggered
                      the search for alternative neutron detectors. One of the
                      viable options is a scintillation based neutron detector.
                      Usually, Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are used in these
                      detectors for photodetection. However, with increase in
                      performance requirements, such as operability in magnetic
                      field and spatial resolution, a need for an advanced neutron
                      detector arises. Therefore, we developed a detector
                      prototype with an active area of 13 cm × 13 cm using
                      Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). As compared to PMTs, SiPMs
                      offer more compactness, more robustness and lower
                      sensitivity to magnetic field. The final detector 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 (NR). First measurements were carried
                      out at TREFF and at the dedicated detector test instrument
                      V17 at BER-II of HZB in Berlin, Germany. In this work, we
                      report the results for detection efficiency, gamma
                      discrimination, two dimensional position resolution, count
                      rate and detection linearity.},
