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

The effect of runaway electrons in partially ionized hydrogen plasma is investigated on the basis of pseudopotential models. The conditions of runaway electrons were determined. Dependences of an electron free path on the plasma density and coupling parameter were obtained. It is shown that if the quantum-mechanical and screening effects in non-ideal partially ionized plasma are taken into consideration, the collision frequency curve for electrons has maxima and free path curves for electrons have minima.
