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?

And Bruce Wesley replied;

The sequece and the intensity are related and predicted by equations.

So based on the intensity of the halo we can understand the events which produced it.

Each step of the decay sequence leaves a destinct halo.

It's a spherical phenomena?

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.

Send the title and author's name. If it has the sort of information that I'm looking for I'll purchase a copy.
