=====================

The gamma ray portion of TARDIS also uses the idea of packets of photons from :cite:`Abbott1985` and :cite:`Lucy1999` (see :doc:`../montecarlo/initialization`)
These packets are given an energy equal to the total energy divided by the number of packets and a frequency that is equal to the packet energy divided by Planck's constant, h.
These packets are given an energy in the comoving frame which is equal to the total energy divided by the number of packets. They are also given a frequency that is equal to the packet energy divided by Planck's constant, h.

The packets are also given a direction made up of two angles, :math:`\theta` and :math:`\phi`, where :math:`\theta` is a polar angle between 0 and :math:`\pi` and :math:`\phi` is an azimuth angle between 0 and :math:`2\pi`.
We sample these angles using the following equations :cite:`Carter1975`:
