ABSTRACT:
A method of downhole neutron monitoring using an oxygen containing scintillating material to generate scintillator light as a function of electrons and gamma rays emitted from the product of the .sup.16 O (n,p) reaction in a scintillator, converting the generated scintillator light to an electrical signal, and using the electrical signal to record the flux of measured neutrons.
