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, the increase in
performance requirements such as the operability in magnetic
field and spatial resolution, necessitates an advanced
neutron detector. Therefore, we developed a detector
prototype with an active area of 13 cm x 13 cm using Silicon
photomultipliers (SiPM). As compared to PMTs, SiPMs offer
more compactness, more robustness and a lower sensitivity to
magnetic fields. 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.},
