Adding previously-measured lifetime or matrix element data is usually vital to finding a unique fit in few-state systems.

[http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/rachel_1_videos/integrated_yields.html Calculating gamma-ray yields]  3 minutes.  This calculation  uses a full integration over the particle detector, Ge detector and energy loss in the target.  These are the yields that should be compared to data.
