Abstract
A directional epithermal neutron detector for use in well logging employs a plurality of neutron counters and a neutron moderating material. A first thermal neutron shield provides a cylindrical housing for the counters and moderating material. The counters are clustered to one side of the housing and the moderating material fills the remaining portion of the housing. A second thermal neutron shield separates the counters from the moderating material.
