We report on the possibility of using Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) todetect the scintillation light from neutron conversion in ZnS:6LiFscintillators. The light is collected by wavelength-shifting fibers embeddedinto the scintillator. The difficulty of extracting neutron signals in thepresence of high dark count rates of the SiPMs is addressed by applying adedicated processing algorithm to analyze the temporal distribution of the SiPMpulses. With a single-channel prototype detection unit we demonstrate a verygood neutron signal extraction at SiPM dark count rates of about 1 MHz.
