Intrinsic full energy peak efficiency

  "term": "Intrinsic full energy peak efficiency",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of a radiation detector's ability to convert incident gamma-ray photons into a full-energy peak signal, independent of any external shielding or geometry. It represents the probability that a photon entering the detector volume will deposit its entire energy within the detector, resulting in a count in the full-energy peak. This efficiency is typically expressed as a percentage and varies with photon energy and detector material.",
