The characteristics that I thought were interesting were detects 100KeV to 5MeV gamma-rays,Fast Neutrons,Charged Particles,Cosmic Rays,muons,and protons. What I plan on doing is getting lead foil and surroud it on every side except the front like Armin Bickel did with his Scintillation Crystals.

A cheap option is to paint a common led with zinc sulphide. Another radiation "atractor" is sodium iodide.
