Abstract
The method and apparatus for logging the media of an earth formation wherein repetitive bursts of x-rays are emitted that penetrate the media with a portion of these x-rays to be scattered and picked up by a plurality of detectors to detect certain physical properties of the media such as density and lithology. The x-rays are produced by an electron beam striking an x-ray target. This electron beam is produced electrically within an electron beam generator and then accelerated through a linear induction accelerator. The linear induction accelerator, in contrast to other alternatives, is of simple design and inherently insensitive to mechanical shock and vibration and to variations in operating temperature.
