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.},
