Abstract—Totally active and magnetic segmented scintillation neutrino detectors are developed for the next generation accelerator neutrino experiments. Such detectors will incorporate scintillation modules with scin tillation counters that form X and Y planes. A single counter is a 7 × 10 × 90 mm3 scintillation bar with glued in wavelengthshifting fibers and micropixel avalanche photodiodes. The results of measurements of the parameters of these detectors are presented. Keywords: neutrino detectors, scintillation counters, micropixel avalanche photodiodes. DOI: 10.1134/S1063778815130232
of about 5 m and a diameter of 5 m filled with argon under a pressure of 20 bar. The timeprojection cham ber (TPC) surrounded by scintillation detectors is located inside this cylinder. The detector resides in a magnetic field of 0.5 T. The magnetized iron neutrino detector (MIND) is composed of magnetized steel plates with scintillation detectors mounted between
INTRODUCTION Far and near neutrino detectors are planned to be designed and constructed in the European LAGUNA LBNO project [1]. One possible design of the near detector is shown in Fig. 1. It can be seen that the detector will have the shape of a cylinder with a length 1.0 m

The process of reconstruction of events in this detector is a fairly simple one: it consists in selecting the tracks longer than, for example, 100 cm, analyzing the ver tex, extracting the calorimetric data on the event, and reconstructing the hadron interaction component.
