Even a year ago I was persuaded that there must be some kind of high-energy gamma downconversion at play (or, as was suggested, possibly some upconversion). But I don't find this a promising lead anymore. I find even less likely the possibility that the downconversion would be mediated by phonons (although I'm not exactly sure what Hagelstein's position is on this subject). Eric
