gamma
Third Greek character
Gamma is the third letter of the Greek alphabet (Γ, γ), used across scientific disciplines.
In physics, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
In finance, gamma measures the rate of change in an option's delta.
In photography and computing, gamma describes the relationship between input signal and displayed brightness: Adjust the gamma settings on your monitor.
Informally, a gamma male ranks below alpha and beta in pop-psychology hierarchies of male dominance.
