Halo

Halo

(Science: radiobiology) The cold, dense plasma formed outside the last closed flux surface during a vertical displacement event. The large currents which flow through this plasma stop the displacement and transfer the force to the vacuum vessel. If care is not taken in design, the halo currents can be large enough to threaten the structural integrity of the vacuum vessel or in-vessel components. Whereas the centre of a tokamak plasma is too hot for material probes to survive, probes (such as magnetic-field coils) can sometimes be placed in the halo, and can measure things such as the halo current.

See: vertical instability.

... the observed t-statistic. The interpretation is that the antibiotic inhibited the growth of the bacteria as indicated by the significantly larger halo of non-growth surrounding the treated discs compared to control, non-treated discs. That the 95% confidence intervals about the means don't overlap ...

t-test help

... is supposed to be. Google t-test. You're not saying this, but I assume that the diameter you're talking about is the diameter of the disc plus any halo surrounding the disc. If the antibiotic works, there should be a halo of clear agar surrounding the disc, where the antibiotic prevented the bacterial ...
