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 In this paper, the process of electron capture in nonideal plasma has been investigated. For this goal the Bohr-Lindhard method has been applied to obtain the electron capture cross section. All calculations have been done in the framework of the trajectories of incident electron near hydrogen ion (proton) obtained by the numerical simulation of the equations of motion. The effective interaction potential, which takes into account the static or dynamic screening effects at large distances and quantum diffraction effects at short distances, was used. The results of numerical calculations of the electron capture radius, differential and total cross section for different values of the density parameter and velocity are presented. It is shown that dynamic charge screening increases the capture cross sections in comparison with static screening.
