Abstract
An archaeological survey method based on neutron gamma-ray logging is described. The method relies on the measurement of capture gamma radiation induced by neutron irradiation from a pulsed generator. This technique provides elemental information on the irradiated zone by spectroscopic analysis of the gamma-ray data. This approach has been studied with Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, irradiation volume for a deuterium–deuterium and deuterium–tritium (D-T) neutron generator and sampling volume for the D-T source were estimated. In addition, a neutron log response, which illustrates the capability of the neutron tool to localize artifacts lying beneath the surface, is shown.
