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 effects of supercompressed and partially degenerate electron fluid on projectile energy loss of laser produced relativistic electron beams (REBs) in the MeV range are investigated. Partial degeneracy is shown to affect significantly the REB stopping power for 0.2≤θ=T∕TF≤1 while its variations with beam energy appear much less θ dependent. The latter exhibit a characteristic V-like shape for any target electron density, and θ values.
