چکیده
This article presents a review of the field of inclusive quasi-elastic electron-nucleus scattering. It discusses the approach used to measure the data and includes a compilation of data available in numerical form. The theoretical approaches used to interpret the data are presented. A number of results obtained from the comparison between experiment and calculation are then reviewed. The analogies and differences to other fields of physics exploiting quasi-elastic scattering from composite systems are pointed out.

Comparison of electron-nucleus quasi-elastic cross sections using spectral functions with (e, e) data from 0.5 GeV to 1.5 GeV and effects on neutrino quasi-elastic cross sections
We carry out a relativistic calculation of the cross sections of electron-O and -C quasi-elastic scattering and quasi-free ∆ production and compare with the (e, e) data systematically in the wide energy range of 0.5 – 1.5 GeV. Using the same formalism, we examine the νμ quasi-elastic scattering from O. The model incorporating the nuclear correlation effects agrees better with the electron-nucle...

متن کاملA parton picture of inclusive quasi-elastic electron scattering off nuclei
A new approach to scaling in inclusive quasi-elastic electron-nucleus scattering is presented. Inspired by the parton model developed for the deep inelastic scattering off the nucleon, a parton picture of quasi-elastic scattering off nuclei, where individual nucleons are treated as non point-like partons, is elaborated. Thanks to the Operator Product Expansion formalism all the necessary target...
متن کاملHigh-resolution study of quasi-elastic electron scattering from a two-layer system
In large-angle elastic scattering events of keV electrons a significant amount of momentum is transferred from the electron to a nucleus in the target. As a consequence kinetic energy is transferred from the energetic electron to the nucleus, and hence these processes can be referred to as ‘quasi-elastic’. How much energy is transferred depends on the mass of the nucleus. In this paper, we pres...
متن کاملSuperscaling in inclusive electron - nucleus scattering
We investigate the degree to which the scaling functions F (ψ ′) derived from cross sections for inclusive electron-nucleus quasi-elastic scattering define the same function for different nuclei. In the region where the scaling variable ψ ′ < 0, we find that this superscaling is experimentally realized to a high degree.
