Performance of a Position Sensitive Neutron Scintillation Detector based on Silicon Photomultipliers

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 ne...
