For the efficiency vs E fit of the 90degree Xray detector I have used the following phenomenological funciton:

f(x) = a * (1-exp(-(x-c)/b)) * exp(-x/d)

For all 3 detector the calibration data sets were combined to include the systematics in the fit results directly. Combining means not a weighted average,
just simple all data points were included into the fit --> doubled efficiency value for most of the energies.
The g(x) = a * (1-exp(-(x-c)/b)) * exp(-x/d) function was used to describe the behavior of the Germanium detectors for the whole range of energies (global

I have made also the inverse square law fits. We have data only for 90degre with the 241Am source, but both for the 1. and 2. calibrations. The 1. and 2.
calibration data sets treated separate.
2 peaks were investigated, 59.5keV and 26.3keV, at two distances 184.8mm and 217.3mm. These distances are the sum of 4 distances:

I have calculated the efficiency values by putting the energies of the K-REC peaks into the phenomenological (empirical) function and into the linear function
(see below). The K-REC peak's position I got from a Gaussian-fit on the peak. There are 5 data sets in total:
