Quasi-elastic electron scattering off nuclei: a study of Coulomb distortion effects

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The inclusive quasi-elastic electron scattering off16O,40Ar,208Pb and238U is studied including the distortion of the incoming and outgoing electron wave due to Coulomb interaction with the nuclear charge. The total cross-section, containing a new term due to the interference between the longitudinal and transverse structure functions, is discussed within the impulse approximation where final-state interaction and binding effects are included by using sum rules techniques. The quasi-elastic scattering induced by positrons is also investigated.
