Scientific problem:

Currently, the EXFOR database stores a large amount of experimental and evaluated data on various nuclear reactions. However, the information available in the database is often insufficient to draw conclusions about the actual quality of the presented experimental results. A significant amount of entries either contain no reference to the primary source, or the results of the implemented experiments are presented using outdated data on nuclear structure. The proposed project aims at overcoming these points of weakness.

Objective: 

The goal of the project is to develop a database of experimental results on the research of neutron-nuclear reactions, free from the disadvantages of EXFOR.

Tasks:

1. Selection of the source format for experimental data (EXFOR/EXFOR-json/C5...).
2. Development of a parser for experimental data.
3. Search for primary sources and their analysis using machine learning techniques.
4. Development of a data storage format and their compilation into a database.
