A. Zghiche et al., LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE RESPONSES IN QUASI-ELASTIC ELECTRON-SCATTERING FROM PB-208 AND HE-4, Nuclear physics. A, 572(3-4), 1994, pp. 513-559
Longitudinal and transverse response functions, R(L) and R(T), have be
en obtained in inclusive quasi-elastic electron scattering from He-4 a
nd Pb-208, for momentum transfers between 300 and 650 MeV/c and energy
transfers up to 350 MeV. A quenching of R(L), approximately 14% in He
-4 and approximately 50% in Pb-208 has been observed. Interpretations
in terms of correlations and modification of nucleon form factors in t
he nuclear medium are discussed.
