Optimization of the light yield properties from scintillator tiles read out directly by silicon photomultipliers

The research of the light yield from the scintillator tiles with direct readout by silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) has been performed. The tile size is 30 x 30 x 3 mm3 as planned for the AHCAL of the ILD at the ILC. The different tile geometries were studied. The uniformity of light yield has been optimized and one geometry has been selected. The results are compared to the studies on the same topic, performed by another groups.
