Abstract
Experimental studies of both inclusive and exclusive quasielastic electron scattering have yielded results which have, so far, defied explanation within the context of traditional nuclear theory. In the case of the inclusive reaction, the difficulties lie in the experimentally observed suppression of the longitudinal response and in the region of the “dip” between the quasielastic and resonance peaks in the transverse response.1 In the case of the exclusive reactions, which have so far been limited to the (e,e’p) reaction using certain restricted choices of kinematics, the difficulty is the observation of insufficient spectral response2 and in the description of the missing energy spectrum of the longitudinal and transverse response functions3. These difficulties have led to a considerable amount of theoretical activity in improving the application of traditional many-body methods to the description of these reactions, and in the application of more exotic models involving relativistic dynamics 4,5,6 or quark degrees of freedom. 7,8,9 So far these efforts have resulted in varying degrees of success and continued work in these areas will be required for the foreseeable future.
