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

“HADRON-55” with scintillation detectors and ionization calorimeters is used for studies in high-energy gamma-astronomy and cosmic ray physics. The “HADRON-55” consists of two parts - the upper gamma block and the lower hadron block. The gamma block absorbs and detects the electron-photon components of cosmic rays, while hadrons are not absorbed when they pass through the gamma block and begins to form particles in the hadron block. Project’s main idea is to select events where there is the interaction in gamma block and no interaction in hadron block. Analysis of experiments results on “HADRON-55” accounts for ~ 6% of such events. The peripheral part of "HADRON-55" consists of 8 scintillation detectors placed in 2 circles with radii of 40 and 100 m. Over 4 years, more than 120,000 events with high energy of 1015 eV were detected.
