Gamma-ray Absorption

Gamma-Ray Absorption is the attenuation of high-energy gamma-ray photons from extragalactic sources due to their interaction with intergalactic photon fields, primarily via electron-positron pair production, thereby reducing the observed flux at Earth in a redshift- and energy-dependent manner.
