First findings! A set of useful links.

Hey guys,

So I started off by simply searching on Google for "Gamma Rays" and found a bunch of useful sites:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_ray
Yeah I know Wikipedia can be unreliable, but it has a lot of good information. It describes a bunch of different uses, and gives the frequencies and wavelengths for them.

http://www.epa.gov/radiation/understand/gamma.html
This is from the US encironmental protection agency. It mostly focuses on the health impacts but provides useful information I can use to confirm the information I got from other websites.

http://www.livescience.com/50215-gamma-rays.html
This site has a lot of information that confirms what I found out from Wikipedia. It discusses using  rays to treat cancer so that can be my use!

http://www.britannica.com/science/gamma-ray
This site also talks about gamma rays for PET scans, apparently they are used for that as well.
