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

Extensive air showers (EASes) at zenith angles of 70–80 degrees with Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation having two and three maxima were registered at the Tian Shan Mountain Station of the Lebedev Physical Institute. In each such event, the subsequent maxima came with a time delay of 100 or more nanoseconds. Extensive air showers at a zenith angle of 70° with charged particles and Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation were also registered.
