NeuLAND, the successor of the LAND time-of-flight neutron spectrometer is planned to be constructed of 5 × 5 × 250 cm3 scintillator bars of RP-408 [1] or equivalent. Light readout will be performed by 1" photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). A demonstration prototype of the detector concept was recently tested at GSI [2]. During the operation of the complete detector with 6,000 channels a significant number of photomultiplier tubes may have to be replaced each year. Recent developments in the field of semiconductor based photon readout systems [2, e.g.] raise the possibility of using Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) for this task.
