Abstract: A borehole muon detector comprises a sensor housed in a housing, the sensor including: a plurality of photodetector elements; at least one printed circuit board in electrical communication with the plurality of photodetectors and including an integrated electronic circuit for tracking time; a first helical bundle of scintillator fibers; and an oppositely wound helical bundle of scintillator fibers. Each scintillator fiber of each bundle is optically connected to a photodetector. The sensor comprises a plurality of scintillator bars, each comprising an optical fiber extending from a first end to a second end, and vertically disposed in the bore defined by the helical bundles of fibers. Each optical fiber of each scintillator bar is optically connected to a photodetector element.
