Characterization of geological formations by natural gamma-ray spectometry. A Monte Carlo simulation

  • 1. Nuclear Geophysics Div., Kernfysisch Versneller Inst., Rijksuniv. Groningen (Netherlands)

Description

This paper presents Monte Carlo simulations of a sensitive γ-ray detector system, MEDUSA, used for underwater measurements. The code MCNP4B has been used for modelling of the probing tool, adjacent formations and determination of the pulse height spectra for various matrix configurations. The influence of heterogeneities of the matrix on the shape and intensity of the measured natural γ-ray spectra is addressed. The calculation results validate the Monte Carlo simulations as a promising tool for modelling or calibration of towed waterbed experiments. (author)
