Of a spectrum of
γ-radiation
, the part of the spectral response curve corresponding to the absorption
in the radiation detector
by the photoelectrical effect
of the detected γ-energy. In most cases the peak also contains events caused by multiple processes and use of the expression total absorption peak
or total absorption peak
is to be preferred. Synonymous with photopeak.
