Subject is a kind of has definition

gamma ray photon Photon of very high frequency (wavelength shorter than a few tenths of an angstrom); the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, although there is no sharp boundary between γ-ray photon and an X-ray photon. Usually γ-ray photons come from the nucleus and X-ray photons come from the inner orbital electrons. Galactic γ-ray photons seem to originate primarily in the spiral arms.
