The ABALONE Photosensor Technology (U.S. Pat. 9064678) is a modern, scalable technology specifically invented for cost effective mass production, robustness, and high performance. We present the performance of advanced fused silica ABALONE Photosensors, developed specifically for the potential extension of the Ice Cube neutrino experiment, and stress tested for 120 days. The resulting performance makes a significant difference: intrinsic gain in the high 100 million range, total afterpulsing rate of only 0.005 ions per photoelectron, subnanosecond timing resolution, single photon sensitivity, and unique radiopurity and UV sensitivity, thanks to the fused silica components, at no additional cost to the assembly process.
