Nuclear and Nucleon Scattering of High-Energy Electrons

The au thor recen t1y prepared a review article ( 1) on high -energy electron scattering and its relation to nuclear structure. In that paper various types of phenonema were discussed, important formulas of scattering theory were given, and experimental results on the sizes of nucleons and nuclei were summarized. The purpose of the present article is somewhat different, although it, too, will be in the nature of a review and summary. In the first paper the principal results of scattering theory were collected together but not derived. In this paper the intention is threefold: (a) To convey to the reader the fundamental ideas of the important scattering formulas by working out sample derivations. (b) To collect useful results in scattering theory. (c) To bring the experimental and theoretical results up-to-date. It is almost impossible to keep up with the rapid progress involved in Item (c), and so the present paper makes no claim to be complete.
