Preferred Label : photoelectric peak;
IUPAC definition : 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.;
