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

Single- and double-differential inclusive dijet cross sections in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering have been measured with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 374 pb−1. The measurement was performed at large values of the photon virtuality, Q 2, between 125 and 20 000 GeV2. The jets were reconstructed with the k T cluster algorithm in the Breit reference frame and selected by requiring their transverse energies in the Breit frame, $E^{\rm jet}_{T,{\rm B}}$ , to be larger than 8 GeV. In addition, the invariant mass of the dijet system, $M_{\rm jj}$ , was required to be greater than 20 GeV. The cross sections are described by the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD.
