Patent attributes
Disclosed embodiments include a gamma logging detector assembly that includes a detector support structure comprising one or more high density alloy materials and including a first cylindrical drill collar segment and a second cylindrical drill collar segment each having a radius of at least R1. A third cylindrical drill collar segment is disposed axially between the first and second cylindrical drill collar segments to form an annular channel over the third cylindrical drill collar segment and between the first and second cylindrical drill collar segments. The third cylindrical drill collar segment includes an inwardly defined open cavity and a radius, R2, that is less than R1. An annular pressure sleeve comprising one or more low density alloy materials is disposed within the annular channel.
