Performance of SiPMT array readout for fast time-of-flight detectors

Scintillator based time-of-flight detectors may use conventional photomultipliers for the readout. Problems arise in presence of stray magnetic fields. SiPMT arrays are insensitive to magnetic fields and are a suitable option to replace photomultipliers. Timing performances for several SiPMT arrays have been studied and results are presented.
