Gen-Gamma
Generic-Gamma Ray Sensors

Generic-Gamma Ray Sensors (Gen-Gamma) refer to non-specific instruments on a platform used to measure gamma-ray radiation. They are typically passive sensors that detect the energy of emitted gamma radiation. Gamma-ray measurements are used to identify radioactive isotopes for environmental monitoring and geological studies.
