Abstract

An embodiment of an apparatus for measuring properties of an earth formation includes: a carrier configured to be disposed in a borehole in an earth formation; a scintillation material configured to emit light flashes in response to exposure to radiation, the scintillation material having a surface configured to be directed toward a region of the formation; an array of solid-state photodetectors that extends along at least one surface of the scintillation material, wherein the scintillation material has a shape configured to concentrate the light flashes and direct the light flashes toward the array; and a processor configured to detect signals generated by photo detectors in the array and estimate energy levels and positions of the light flashes within the scintillation material.
