Vortexians;
I assume that the halos are caused by the decay of the radioneuclide
in the zirconium crystal. I assume that there are multiple decays. Is
the intensity of the halo determined by the number of decays? Is there
some way to determine the number of decay events by it's intensity?

The sequece and the intensity are related and predicted by equations.
Each step of the decay sequence leaves a destinct halo. It's like a mass
spectrometer read out, each peak, halo, is a trasition in the decay
sequence. I just remembered who's got my copy of Gentries book, Dad
borrowed it, so I'll see if I can get it back and check it for you.
