# I think it's gamma rays that can penetrate up to 6cm of lead.
If I'm remembering secondary school science correctly. They're unlikely to control your mind though, just give you cancer.

# it's not that
I was just picturing some sinister scientist giving a status report to his superior:

Scientist: the test data is back
President: well does it work? are we controlling peoples minds?
Scientist: no, not really but most people living in downtown new york have brain cancer

# Evil scientists seem to be rubbish these days.
No-one builds a mecha-flamesuit and goes on a rampage anymore, like at the start of Lethal Weapon 4.

# Times have changed.
Now we're all just manufacturing new strains of flu, you get more panic that way.

# See I like the manufacturing flu strains.
Giant flu strains.

Made of steel.

# It depends on the energy of the gamma rays.
6cm of lead would do a decent job with most things though.

# Well I've commissioned a helmet made exclusively from 6cm-thick lead.
I hope you're right and I hope my neck muscles grow significantly before it arrives.

# They would be the one, not sure about the amount of lead but they're pretty much the most penetrative things next to neutrinos and such.
However they're fairly unlikely to give you cancer given they just pass straight through you.

Unless you're made of lead....then you're fucked.
