In photoabsorption spectroscopy, the intensity of monochromatic light passing through a sample is measured, as a function of wavelength(or energy), using a photosensitive detector like a photomultiplier or a photodiode. A decrease in this transmitted intensity, which appears as a dip in the baseline of incident intensity, when intensity is plotted versus wavelength, indicates the occurrence of an electronic or molecular transition in the sample. 2, record 3, English, - photoabsorption%20spectroscopy

Detection efficiency. The intrinsic detection efficiency of any device operated in pulse mode is defined as the probability that a quantum of radiation incident on the detector will produce a recorded pulse. Especially for radiations of low intensity, a high detection efficiency is important to minimize the total time needed to record enough pulses for good statistical accuracy in the measurement. Detection efficiency is further subdivided into two types : total efficiency and peak efficiency. The total efficiency gives the probability that an incident quantum of radiation produces a pulse, regardless of size, from the detector. The peak efficiency is defined as the probability that the quantum will deposit all its initial energy in the detector. Since there are almost always ways in which the quantum may deposit only part of its energy and then escape from the detector, the total efficiency is generally larger than the peak efficiency. 1, record 5, English, - peak%20efficiency

Pour accéder au nombre de particules émises par la source, il faut donc connaître l’efficacité du détecteur utilisé pour les particules détectées.
