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

Digital pulse shape analysis (dpsa) has been used with a Frisch-gridded ionization chamber to study the charged particle emission reactions induced by fast neutrons. The structure of Frisch-gridded ionization chamber and his performance were presented in more detail in ref. [1]. Here we describe experimental use of the ionization chamber combined with PXI system in detection of charged particles. The PXI system consisting of a chassis NI PXI-1031, an embedded controller NI PXI-8820 and a high-speed digitizer pixie-4 from XIA [2]. The pixie-4 is a PCI/PXI 4-channel all-digital waveform data-acquisition card featuring on-line pulse-shape analysis. Incoming signals are digitized with 14-bit 75 msps ADCs. Rise-time dpsa has been employed using data as an examples measurements of charged particles originating from reactions on 6 Li and 10 B nuclei induced by thermalized neutrons from an 241 Am-Be source.
