  "term": "Absolute full energy peak efficiency",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The probability that a gamma-ray photon emitted from a radioactive source within a detector's field of view will deposit its full energy in the detector, resulting in a count in the full energy peak. It is a function of the photon energy, detector geometry, and detector material. This efficiency is typically expressed as a dimensionless fraction between 0 and 1.",
