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

Direct method for detecting intranuclear clusters of nuclear matter-clusters and determining their effective numbers was developed. The idea of the method is based on the functional coincidence of kinematics for light nuclei in the free state and clusters of the same mass within the nuclear volume. The reliability of the method is additionally confirmed by two experimental methods. The experiments were carried out at the Kazakhstan U-150M accelerator on a beam of [Formula: see text]-particles with energy of 29[Formula: see text]MeV. The first method consists in measuring the half-width of the elastic scattering peak from the angle and a comparison between the differential cross-sections of elastically scattered [Formula: see text] particles on free light nuclei and the differential cross-sections obtained by the authors on intranuclear multicluster. Using the second method, the correlation method, an experiment was performed to record the scattered [Formula: see text] particle on the 9Be nucleus-matrix and the recoil nucleus identical to it ([Formula: see text] particle). Thus, the kinematics of the [Formula: see text] 4He reaction, where 4He is an intranuclear [Formula: see text] cluster, indicates the presence of an intranuclear alpha cluster, which is further confirmed by the authors, an experimental measurement of intranuclear multicluster.
