Hello,
I am a semi-retired Ph.D. Scientist worked in the catalog chemicals industry (Merck, Sigma-Aldrich, etc.). I have always been fascinated with nuclear physics and now I have the time to putz around with several G-M counters and other radiation detection equipment I have accumulated over the years!
I look forward to participating and hopefully become a resource to other forum members. Chemistry questions are welcome!

Hello Craig,
Welcome to the forum, with a lifetime of knowledge from the chemical industry I am sure you will have something to share.
Generally if a photon has more than 1 keV we get exited by it 😊

Another type of radiation detector that can be built very easily and inexpensively is an ion chamber. Links are provided below. I have built these as well as having students build some for projects. They actually work. The radon daughter detection is particularly interesting.
