Abstract
A radiation sensor includes a radiation source, at least two scintillators having distinguishable scintillation-light-emission-decay characteristics, and shielding configured to provide radiation-paths of different shielding between the source and the at least two scintillators. The shielding is configured such that the scintillators are primarily sensitive to radiation passing through different paths. The signals produced from scintillation events can be sorted by the scintillator that is the source of the event. A source-scintillator-based comparison of the signals may be used to provide information about the material in one or more of the radiation paths. The sensor may be disposed within a borehole to measure the density of the fluid in the borehole.
