    Abstract: Disclosed is a radiation logging tool, comprising a tool housing; a compact generator that produces radiation; a power supply coupled to the compact generator; and control circuitry. Embodiments of the compact generator comprise a generator vacuum tube comprising a source generating charged particles, and a target onto which the charged particles are directed; and a high voltage supply comprising a high voltage multiplier ladder located laterally adjacent to the generator vacuum tube. The high voltage supply applies a high voltage between the source and the target to accelerate the charged particles to a predetermined energy level. The compact generator also includes an electrical coupling between an output of the high voltage supply and the target of the generator vacuum tube to accommodate the collocated positions of the generator vacuum tube and the high voltage power supply.

    Abstract: A neutron detecting device using a neutron-reactive material as the source of charged particles to feed conventional dynode-based electron multiplier which not gas-filled (i.e., with 3He). The detector comprises a neutron-reacting material that produces charged particles, coupled with an electron multiplier that is known for use in photomultipliers. The neutron-reacting material is deposited on a substrate at the entrance to the electron multiplier. Charged particles from the neutron-reacting material impinge on the first dynode of the electron multiplier, where, in turn, electrons are generated. The secondary electrons are collected by a second dynode, and the charge so collected is amplified in each succeeding dynode stage in a cascade effect. The charge pulse from the anode is processed by subsequent pulse processing electronics and counting electronics to provide a count rate that is proportional to the neutron flux incident on the neutron-reacting material.

    Abstract: A method is provided to detect neutrons using a boron- shielded gamma-ray detector, which will detect the 0.48-MeV prompt gamma ray due to the 10 B (n,a)7Li reaction. The gamma ray detector can be a proportional gas counter, a scintillation based detector, or a semiconductor detector. Monoenergetic prompt gammas will produce a sharp peak in the pulse height spectrum of a gamma-ray spectroscopy detector. By surrounding a gamma detector with a layer containing 10B, we can measure the gamma signal and neutron signal at the same time and at the same physical location in an instrument. The approach can be used to measure neutron porosity simultaneous with gamma-ray counting or spectroscopy at the same location as long as the.48-keV gamma- ray from the neutron reaction does not interfere with the gamma-ray measurement.
