摘要
A well logging instrument and method that remove vibration induced noise from the output of a detector including a scintillation crystal. The invention is based on a realization that pulses induced by vibration during MWD operations are characteristically periodic, whereas pulses generated down hole by gamma rays occur at random intervals and are characteristically non-periodic. The instrument and method involve positioning a scintillation crystal package in the high vibration environment for interaction with incident radiation, using a light sensing device to convert photons received from the scintillation crystal package into an electrical signal which over time is composed of radiation induced events that are non-periodic and vibration induced events that are periodic, distinguishing the periodic events using a time history of the electrical signal, and removing the periodic events from the electrical signal to provide a corrected electrical signal from which vibration induced components have been removed. Also disclosed is a method for using the information gathered for vibration induced events to give an indication of the remaining lifetime of the scintillation crystal.
