Hi Brooke, Maybe. The photon counting gear is pretty trivial. You'd need:
A scintillator A PMT (Photo Multiplier Tube) and HV stable HV PS. A preamp A SCA (Single Channel Analyzer). These can be built. A counter, stable time base, and data recorder The main difficulty, IMO, would be getting a sufficient sized lump of the material. Chunks of Cs don't grow on trees, at least not where I live.
