Radiohalos in a radiochronological and cosmological perspective

Science. 1974 Apr 5;184(4132):62-6. doi: 10.1126/science.184.4132.62.

Abstract

New photographic evidence, data on halo ring sizes, and x-ray fluorescence analyses provide unambiguous evidence that polonium halos exist as a separate and distinct class apart from uranium halos. Because of the short half-lives of the polonium isotopes involved, it is not clear how polonium halos may be explained on the basis of currently accepted cosmological models of Earth formation.
