Determination of response characteristics is an important phase in the development of a logging tool. Accurate computer simulations of the response can save a considerable amount of time and money: constructing model formations and tool prototypes is a very costly process. Contained in this paper is a description of a technique that can be used to perform accurate response simulations for a particular class of well logging tool. This group of instruments may be categorized as spectral gamma-ray tools and includes those tools that are used to analyze photons incident from the formation. Examples illustrate the application of this method to a particular type of spectral gamma-ray tool, that which is used to record photons induced by inelastic scattering and neutron absorption reactions in the formation.
