Measurements of a detector prototype with direct SiPM read-out and comparison with simulated data

This thesis outlines measurements of a detector prototype for muon detection with direct SiPM readout. Special attention has been turned on the reflectors around the scintillator. Therefore cosmic muons have been measured with four different reflectors. Also a thinner scintillator module was measured to determine whether the light yield of smaller modules is sufficient. The data of the different reflectors has been evaluated and is compared to GEANT4 simulations of the setup.
