ELPASOLITE SCINTILLATOR-BASED NEUTRON DETECTOR FOR OILFIELD APPLICATIONS

摘要

Embodiments described herein are directed to methods and neutron detectors for use in downhole and other oilfield applications. In particular, the neutron detector includes a scintillator formed at least partially from an elpasolite material. In a more specific embodiment, the scintillator is formed from a Cs2LiYCl6 (“CLYC”) material.
