      abstract     = {In recent years, silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology
                      is getting attention from various applications due to its
                      low cost, immunity to magnetic field, compactness and
                      ruggedness. However, its applicability in experiments with
                      harsh radiation environments is still limited due to lack of
                      corresponding radiation damage studies. A typical 10-year
                      lifetime operation in a typical Small Angle Neutron
                      Scattering experiment [1] with an acceptable PDE degradation
                      [2] has already been reported, and in this study, the timing
                      resolutions of SiPMs before and after exposure with cold
                      neutrons (5 Å) were compared. For this purpose, two analog
                      SiPMs, developed by SensL and Hamamatsu, and a digital SiPM
                      manufactured by Philips Digital Photon Counting were
                      irradiated up to a dose of 6∙1012n/cm2 at the KWS-1
                      instrument of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in
                      Garching.The used measurement system consists of a 403 nm
                      Laser with a pulse width of 45 ps FWHM, and an oscilloscope
                      (40 GS/s, 14 GHz) for data acquisition. During the
                      characterization campaign, a time resolutions has been
                      measured using ~500 photon pulses impinging on the SiPMs,
                      which were kept under constant temperature of 21 °C. The
                      first result of SensL SiPM show no significant difference in
                      jitter values before and after irradiation up to a dose of
                      1.9E12 n/cm2. The performed tests provide an insight into
                      feasibility of implementing SiPM based fast and efficient
                      scintillation light detectors for applications such as
                      neutron time-of-flight scattering experiments.},
