No. Gamma rays are light, and the only thing that can "hold" light is the "inside" of a black hole's event horizon.

Which rays are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields?
These are gamma rays and X-rays.
What are the components of gamma rays?
Gamma rays consists of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge
Why gamma rays do not bend?
They have no electrical charge and therefore can not be bent by electrical or magnetic fields.
What has the author Per Thoresen written?
Per Thoresen has written: 'Electric and magnetic fields produced in low altitude nuclear explosions' -- subject(s): Electric fields, Gamma rays, Magnetic fields, Nuclear explosions
What are gamma and x-rays?
Gamma and x-rays are two types of rays on the electro magnetic spectrum. The amount of energy used by the rays increases as you go up the electro magnetic spectrum. The weakest of the rays is a radio wave and the strongest is the gamma which will penetrate lead.
Do magnetic fields affect X Rays?
Fixed magnetic fields, such as the field around a piece of magnetic metal or around a planet such as the earth have no effect on what is called "electromagnetic" or "wave" radiation, which includes, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays (named in order of increasing energy and frequency.)
Are gamma rays affected by electric and magnetic fields?
Most cosmic rays would be deflected by a magnetic field, with the degree of deflection depending upon their mass and the strength of the field. Remember that cosmic rays are largely protons or atomic nuclei and as such most of them do carry a charge and hence would feel the force or influence of electric or magnetic fields. Secondary cosmic rays are partly composed of electrically neutral particles (like neutrons) which would not feel the influence of magnetic fields and hence would not be deflected.
Is magnetic field abble to attenuate acoustic waves?
No. Magnetic fields may interfere with electromagnetic waves (x-rays, gamma rays, UV, visible light etc.) but not sound (acoustic?) waves. The two are completely different types of waves.
What electro magnetic wave has the highest frequencies?
gamma rays
Is not deflected by a magnetic field by the radioactive emission?
Gamma rays .
When did Paul Ulrich Villard observed that gamma radiation is more penetrating than X-rays?
Paul Villard discovered the gamma ray in 1900, by sending radiation through lead shielding, which would have stopped X-rays. In his process, he separated beta from gamma rays, which went through the shield and, he also showed, were unaffected by magnetic fields.
Is it true that gamma rays primarily consits of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays is powerful, high frequency (1019Hz and above) electromagnetic radiation and behaves like the rest of the spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation has some of the properties of both particles, electric and magnetic fields.
