Summary
Finite-size effects have been incorporated consistently into a relativistic Fermi gas model of quasi-elastic electron scattering by means of a geometrical correction to the density of states. A simple physically meaningful empirical parametrization of the effective radius (or the Fermi momentum) as a function of the mass number is obtained from a fit to experimental differential cross-sections. Using this parameterization of the effective radius the inelastic structure functions and Coulomb sum rules have been calculated for different nuclei.
