Description

Recent research has led to the improvement of the MOCA Monte Carlo code so that the complete pulse-height spectral response for a neutron-γ logging tool can be obtained. Some comparisons with experiments have been made that show a very good agreement with the calculated model. Such models can be extremely useful for tool design and calibration. (author)
