With the growing global demand for nuclear energy, the evaluation of the quality of uranium resource distribution and the precise measurement of reserves have become increasingly important. The uranium fission prompt neutron logging technology, as a critical tool for uranium ore logging exploration, offers the advantage of providing quantitative results unaffected by radioactive equilibrium. However, the measurement accuracy is influenced by the pulse width and yield of the neutron source. This study utilizes a uranium logging instrument equipped with an associated particle sealed-tube neutron generator, which enables time and spatial statistics of the companion α particles emitted by the outgoing neutrons. This approach helps to eliminate interference from the source neutrons and enhances the accuracy of the logging results. In the simulation process, to obtain information on neutron emissions during logging and the timing signal responses of both the companion α detector and the epithermal neutron detector, we propose a response time simulation method that combines Monte Carlo simulation software with MATLAB. By appropriately setting the pre-delay time and gate width, a relationship curve between the count rate and uranium content in formations with uranium levels ranging from 0 to 1.00% was established. The results from validation samples indicate that the calculated uranium content show a deviation of less than 0.1% from the actual values. When the uranium content in the formation exceeds 0.5%, the relative deviation is within 10%. This method meets the exploration requirements and demonstrates significant application value for uranium ore logging.
