ABSTRACT:
A well logging sonde is disclosed which includes a collimating window design for the accurate detection of gamma rays of low and high energy which are back-scattered from a region near a source of gamma rays emitted into the formation. The sonde includes a tungsten support inner tube or shell surrounded by a length of "U" shaped steel. A conduit is formed in the wall of the shell at an angle with respect to its axis and is oriented symmetrically toward the opening of the "U" shaped steel support member. A closing member of a thin layer of titanium is welded to the open ends of the "U" shaped steel member. An arcuate tungsten pad is secured about the titanium closing member and partially about the exterior of the open ends of the "U" shaped steel support member. A conduit in the pad is aligned with the conduit of the inner shell to form a collimating window. A gamma ray detector of a length shorter than the "U" shaped steel section is mounted within the inner tube in the path of the collimating window.
