Inclusive Electron-Nucleus Scattering at Large Momentum Transfer

Nuclear Experiment 2010-02-17 v1

Abstract

Inclusive electron scattering is measured with 4.045 GeV incident beam energy from C, Fe and Au targets. The measured energy transfers and angles correspond to a kinematic range for Bjorken x>1x > 1 and momentum transfers from Q2=17(GeV/c)2Q^2 = 1 - 7 (GeV/c)^2. When analyzed in terms of the y-scaling function the data show for the first time an approach to scaling for values of the initial nucleon momenta significantly greater than the nuclear matter Fermi-momentum (i.e. >0.3> 0.3 GeV/c).
