Muon detection with scintillation detectors using indirect SiPM readout

In the scope of this thesis prototypes of silicon photomultipliers with wavelength shifting fibres were measured for muon detection. This indirect readout happens with silizium photomultipliers (SiPM), which are coupled with the fibre. The scintillator was wrapped with different reflective materials to optimise the light amplification. Furthermore two different thicknesses of the scintillator were used to have a comparison between the different light yield. Consequently different scintillator thicknesses were combinded and measured with different wrapping materials to compare their efficiency.
