Original Abstract Submitted
a downhole tool is provided with a neutron generator configured to emit neutrons into a geological formation. the downhole tool includes one or more neutron detectors configured to detect neutrons that return to the downhole tool after interacting with the geological formation. the downhole tool also includes one or more gamma ray detectors configured to detect gamma rays from the geological formation that form when neutrons are inelastically scattered by the geological formation. measurements from a combination of detectors of at least one of the one or more neutron detectors and at least one of the one or more gamma ray detectors are used to determine formation density. a first formation density determined using a first combination of detectors is used to compensate a second formation density determined using a second combination of detectors.
