ISOTOPE EFFICIENCY
Note: A Full Spectrum Efficiency value must be entered in the setup at all times.
Efficiency is a measurement parameter that is defined as the ratio of detected counts (or
counting rate) measured by the system to actual disintegrations (rate of decay). Efficiency
can be defined as follows:
minute per tions disintegra
100 minute per counts

The efficiency of an isotope depends upon the geometry, region of interest, energy,
abundance and activity of the source as well as the type of detector system used to measure
the source. For these reasons, efficiency values vary from one isotope to another. The

3000 uses a default value of 65% for full spectrum efficiency. Full spectrum
means the total number of counts detected in all of the MCA channels. This is the nominal
