Gamma-rays were first found as photons with energies in the range of tens of keV to several MeV produced by unstable nuclei. High energy photons can be produced by other types of processes, like inverse Compton scattering, expanding the γ-ray spectrum to arbitrarily high energies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
