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

Within the TANGRA project framework, a new experimental setup has been constructed for the measurement of reaction cross sections (n, X, γ) in the interaction of 14.1 MeV neutrons with nuclei. The facility has a special feature: the use of the tagged neutron method. This method enables efficient separation of background and useful events, as well as accurate tracking of neutron flux. Test measurements were performed on 28Si, 12C, and 16O nuclei, and the results showed satisfactory agreement with available experimental data. This paper presents the features of the setup design and the methodology for processing the obtained experimental data
