Svensk definition
Elektromagnetisk, joniserande högenergistrålning med kortare våglängd än röntgenstrålar och med stor genomträngningsförmåga. Strålningen avges vid kärnsönderfall, vanligtvis mellan 0.01 och 10 MeV.
Gamma Rays
Gammastrålar
Engelsk definition
Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
