Abstract
A method and system for determining at least one property of a geological formation employs at least one forward model to derive at least one synthetic detector measurement that relates to neutron-induced gamma-ray emission from geological formation. The forward model is also used to infer at least one property of the geological formation including bulk density of the geological formation.
