Abstract
A method for obtaining nuclear measurement data includes measuring a burst gate source intensity. The method also includes measuring at least one of burst gate neutron count rate or a capture gate neutron count rate at a neutron detector arranged proximate a gamma ray detector. The method further includes determining, based at least in part on the burst gate source intensity and at least one of the burst gate neutron count rate or the capture gate neutron count rate, a normalized neutron count rate. The method also includes determining at least one of an inelastic spectrum or a capture spectrum. The method includes determining based at least in part on the normalized neutron count rate, at least one of a corrected inelastic spectrum or a corrected capture spectrum.
