Intrinsic detector efficiency

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006028",
  "term": "Intrinsic detector efficiency",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The probability that a radiation detector will produce a detectable signal for each radiation quantum incident upon its sensitive volume. This efficiency is independent of the geometric arrangement between the source and the detector. It is a measure of the detector's inherent ability to respond to radiation.",
