Abstract

A method for performing a measurement of a property downhole includes: using an instrument including an irradiator including a pulsed neutron generator, a moderator and a material including a high cross section for capturing thermal neutrons downhole, generating inelastic gamma photons from neutron interactions in the moderator and generating capture gamma photons from neutron interactions in the material; irradiating sub-surface materials proximate to the instrument with the inelastic gamma photons and the capture gamma photons; detecting radiation scattered by the sub-surface materials; and estimating the property according to the detected radiation. A system is also disclosed.
