 TARDIS gamma :math:`\gamma`

+***************************
+This code module simulates the propagation of :math:`\gamma`-ray photons through the ejecta and can be used to study high energy phenomenon within the ejecta as well as the energy deposition of :math:`\gamma`-rays and positrons.
+
+Type Ia supernovae produce a large amount of energy from :math:`\gamma`-rays produced from the radioactive decay of :sup:`56` Ni and :sup:`56` Co. These photons often are not able to escape the ejecta until later times in the supernova when the density decreases. Once the :math:`\gamma`-rays are able to escape they can provide information about the mass and distribution of radioactive isotopes created in the supernova.
