Abstract
A D-D neutron source model was developed according to the neutron spectrum and the neutron angular distribution of D-D reaction. A standard calibration well model was built. The transports of the D-D neutrons and γ-rays in the well were simulated using MCNP code. The mixed γ-spectra and inelastic γ-spectra in the NaI detector were obtained for both different distances from a neutron source and different densities. Mixed γ count in the energy range of 2.5 to 5.0 MeV as a function of distance shows that the NaI detector should be located at a distance of 3080 cm from the neutron source. The nonlinear relationships between the density and the mixed γ count were presented in this paper.
It was demonstrated that the energy spectrum of mixed γ rays can realize the n-γ density logging.
