A Measurement Of Inclusive Quasi Elastic Electron Cross Sections At X 1 And High Q2

A Measurement of Inclusive Quasi-elastic Electron Cross Sections at X > 1 and High Q2

A Measurement of Inclusive Quasielastic Electron Cross Sections at X > 1 and High Q2

Experiment E89-008 measured inclusive electron scattering cross sections from different nuclei in Hall C at Jefferson Laboratory. Cross sections on the low energy loss side of the quasi-elastic peak (xBj > 1) are extracted for carbon, aluminum, iron and gold. The data cover four-momentum transfers squared of 0.97 to 5.73 GeV 2 =c 2 . The measured cross sections are compared to cross sections calculated using a microscopic spectral function. The cross section results are also analyzed in terms of the two scaling functions F (y) and f(?'). For both the data is found to be independent of the momentum transfer (scaling of the first kind). For f(?') the data is in addition independent of the mass number A (scaling of the second kind) and thus exhibits superscaling properties.

Perspectives In Nuclear Physics At Intermediate Energies - Proceedings Of The Conference

This book focuses on the latest theoretical and experimental results and future perspectives regarding electromagnetic and hadronic physics at intermediate energies. Nucleon form factors and spin structure functions, deep-inelastic scattering, excited baryons and mesons, and correlations in nuclei are discussed. Many new results and the scientific programmes of the different laboratories in Europe and North America are also presented. A special section is devoted to relativistic approaches to hadrons and nuclei at intermediate energies.
