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

We describe an experimental setup used to measure the T-odd asymmetry effects for prompt fission neutrons and γ-rays in binary fission of some heavy nuclei induced by polarized neutrons with resonance energy. The overall setup as well as the details of the design and performance of the key components like fission fragment detectors, neutron and γ detectors, and the electronics used in the data acquisition and processing system are presented. The experimental setup on beam line POLI of the FRM II reactor (Garching, Germany), as well as the neutron beam characteristics, polarization measurements are described, too.
