gamma
Gamma decay occurs when an atomic nucleus changes from a higher energy state to a lower one. When it does the "extra" energy leaves in the form of a gamma ray. That's gamma decay. The gamma ray is electromagnetic energy. That means that there is not a particle of anything involved in this event. Gamma decay is the emergence of that gamma ray from the nucleus of an atom that is going down in its energy state

It can't, as far as I know. "Gamma decay" doesn't refer to the decay of gamma rays; rather, it refers to a decay of ATOMS, or some other particles, which produces gamma rays in the process.
