Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

An analytical solution is obtained for the integro-differential equation of a cascade process for particles (knocked out atoms, etc.) in a three-dimensional model of an elementary act, into which a generalized cascade-probability function (GCPF) leads. It is shown that after the Laplace transformation, the equation passes into an integral one, which is then solved by the method of successive approximations. The basic physical properties of this function are established. With the constancy of the path to the interaction and the angle of departure of the particle after the collision, the GCPF goes into the simplest CPF. With small depths of registration, the probability that a particle will pass this depth tends to zero (both without collisions and when testing i interactions). At greater depths, these probabilities tend to zero. With a large i GCPF goes into a Stirling type formula. As the interaction path increases, the probability without interaction tends to unity, and the probability with i-interactions tends to zero.
