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 The paper presents the calculation of non-relativistic ionization energy levels for the ground state of the helium atom and the muonic helium atom. The calculations are based on the variational method of “exponential” expansion. The convergence of the calculated energy levels is investigated depending on the number of basis functions N. This allows us to state that the obtained energy values have an accuracy 30 significant digits of the helium atom and 25 significant digits for the muonic helium atom.
