Description
The (planned) SLHC upgrade will make it necessary to handle up to 10 times higher muon rates. For this purpose the development of additional sub-detectors is needed. One option would be the use of fast scintillation detectors as muon taggers for a L1 trigger support. Because of the high B-field and the strongly limited space, it seems evident to use SiPMs as readout devices. Simulations and prototype tests are needed in order to determine proper detector materials and geometries, readout schemes and SiPM types. This talk presents the results of GEANT4-based simulations addressing these issues. Furthermore, first results from test setups are shown.
