gamma rays in English

noun
1
penetrating electromagnetic radiation of a kind arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.
The more actual atoms in the material, the higher the chances that the gamma ray photon will collide with one of them, thus expending its energy on the lead, and not on your body.
