γ-ray consists of electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies, and therefore highest photon energies. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, like visible light or X-rays, but with much higher energy.

Unlike alpha and beta radiation which consist of particles, gamma radiation consists of energy packets (photons) and is an electromagnetic wave.

Gamma rays are typically produced by the decay of atomic nuclei (radioactive decay) or other high-energy processes like electron-positron annihilation. Mesons, neutrinos, and Higgs bosons are types of elementary particles, not constituents of gamma radiation.
