The calibration process was done using radioactive point sources, which produce a wide energy range from 59.53 up to 1,408.01 keV. This work has been undertaken to explain the effects of source energy and sourcE−to-detector distance on the detector efficiency calculations. The study provides an empirical formula to calculate FEPE based on the efficiency transfer method for different detectors using the effective solid angle ratio at very large distances and for higher energies. A remarkable agreement between the measured and calculated efficiencies for the detectors at the sourcE−to-detector distances}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics}, publisher={OICC Press}, year={2023}, month={Nov.}, keywords={Scintillation detectors, Effective solid angle, Efficiency transfer method, Energy peak efficiency (FEPE), Full} }
