Pulsed Neutron Capture Logging Tools
Pulsed Neutron Capture (PNC) logging tools are electronic logging devices that repeatedly generate very short bursts of high energy neutrons at an energy level of 14 MeV. Neutron capture is a type of nuclear reaction in which a target nucleus absorbs a neutron (uncharged particle), then emits a discrete quantity of electromagnetic energy (gamma-ray photon).
