Accuracy Enhancement of γ-Albedo Geological Core Analysis

Abstract

A method of improving the accuracy of geological core analysis performed by the γ-albedo method is examined. The regularities of the rotation of a cylindrical core around its axis and the reciprocating motion of the probe along the core, parallel to its surface, such that the γ-radiation scattered from each individual surface makes the same contribution are determined. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by the possibility of minimizing the analytical error arising due to the non-uniformity of the material.
