Abstract
The primary goal of the novel photosensor technology called ABALONE™ (U.S. Pat. 9,064,678) has been to enable the next-generation of astroparticle physics experiments to open new windows on the universe with large-area detectors of unprecedented performance, including radio-purity, robustness, and integration flexibility. This foundational technology provides the means for modern, scalable and cost-effective production. The wide range of possible application-specific detector configurations can also make a difference in homeland security and medical imaging. Thus far, we have reduced to practice two such detector configurations: (i) the composite sandwich Panel assembly that hosts matrices of closely packed ABALONE units (U.S. Pat. 10,823,861), and, quite differently, the Tandem Detector Modules that host two back-to-back oriented ABALONE photosensors. This article for the first time presents the latter configuration, specifically designed to provide 2×2π angular acceptance for neutrino astronomy and other large-area radiation detectors.
