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

Abstract Neutron resonance capture analysis has been applied to determine the elemental composition of an archaeological object provided by the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This artifact is a fragment of ancient greaves. The experiment was carried out at the intense resonance neutron Source located in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics in Dubna (Russia). The method is non-destructive and does not require any sample preparation. The result of the study of element composition of the fragment of greaves is presented in this paper.
