Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • H+ ions accounted for about 10% of the ion current density due to their small mass, so these ions should not be omitted.

    “Despite this, the H + ions accounted for about 10% of the ion current density due to their small mass, so these ions should not be omitted.”

    From Plasma propulsion modeling with particle-based algorithms (2023) · cites this paper as [158]

  • Another set of works studied numerically ECR discharges with a grid extraction system using a simplified approach where the MW fields were calculated from Eqs. (10) and (11) but without taking into account the plasma contribution, i.e., with j = 0.

    “Another set of works 26,116,156-160 studied numerically ECR discharges with a grid extraction system. They used the aforementioned simplified approach, where the MW fields were calculated from Eqs. (10) and (11), but without taking into account the plasma contribution, i.e., with j = 0.”

    From Plasma propulsion modeling with particle-based algorithms (2023) · cites this paper as [158]

  • Ref. 158 simulated a similar discharge in water vapor, accounting only for a few positive ion species, and found that in order to obtain the same electron density, a higher power is needed compared to discharges in Xe.

    “Unlike the previous works considering ECR discharge in Xe, Ref. 158 simulated a similar discharge in water vapor, albeit accounting only for a few positive ion species, and found that in order to obtain the same electron density, a higher power is needed compared to discharges in Xe (see Sec. VA for details).”

    From Plasma propulsion modeling with particle-based algorithms (2023) · cites this paper as [158]

  • H2O+ and OH+ dominated over H+ and occupied more than 97%.

    “It was also seen that H2O + and OH + dominated over H + , and occupied more than 97%.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
