Claim 16:
17. A method for performing a subterranean operation the method comprising:
receiving gamma rays from a formation into a logging tool, with the gamma rays passing through a composite portion of a body of a drill collar and being absorbed into a gamma ray detector assembly which is disposed within a bore of the body, such that the body radially surrounds the gamma ray detector assembly, wherein the gamma ray detector assembly comprises one or more scintillation crystals and one or more photomultipliers, wherein the composite portion is disposed in a window formed in an outer surface of the body, wherein the window comprises a recess extending radially inward from an exterior surface of the body, and wherein the exterior surface and the composite portion are in pressure communication with a pressure that is external to the tool;
detecting the absorbed gamma rays along a wellbore via the gamma ray detector assembly;
indicating, via the logging tool, an azimuthal orientation of the composite portion of the body relative to the wellbore; and
logging, via the logging tool, the detected gamma rays and the indicated azimuthal orientation.
