Typedef for struct _GRBP_gammaList.
Typedef for struct _GRBP_photonList.
Photons that are believe candidates for a GRB are held in this list. In order to distinguish them from run-of-the-mill input photons they are called gammas. (There is no physics behind this naming, it is just a distinguishing name.)
These gammas are used to locate the GRB and from the basis for all the information stuffed into the alert messages. The description of a gamma is fairly small (32-64 bytes each) so making a list of ~10K of these is not unreasonable.
Photons received by the client (e.g. the SIU) from the servers (e.g. the EPUs), they are placed on a list. This list serves two purposes
