Description

Two neutron-γ borehole logging applications are described. In a quantitative application of the prompt-gamma neutron-activation analysis (PGNAA) technique, research was carried out both in the laboratory and at a mine to establish a suitable borehole logging technology for manganese-grade predictions. As an example of the qualitative application of PGNAA, the use of this method has been demonstrated for the determination of lithology. (author)
