The observation of scaling in processes in which a weakly interacting probe delivers large momentum ${\bf q}$ to a many-body system reflects the dominance of incoherent scattering off target constituents. While a suitably defined scaling…
We construct a scaling function $f(\psi^{\prime})$ for inclusive electron scattering from nuclei within the Coherent Density Fluctuation Model (CDFM). The latter is a natural extension to finite nuclei of the Relativistic Fermi Gas (RFG)…
Inclusive electron scattering data are presented for ^2H and Fe targets at an incident electron energy of 4.045 GeV for a range of momentum transfers from Q^2 = 1 to 7 (GeV/c)^2. Data were taken at Jefferson Laboratory for low values of…
The superscaling observed in inclusive electron scattering is described within the dilute Fermi gas model with interaction between the particles. The comparison with the relativistic Fermi gas (RFG) model without interaction shows an…

The hole spectral function is calculated in nuclear matter to assess the relevance of nucleon-nucleon short range correlations. The calculation is carried out within the Brueckner scheme of many-body theory by using several nucleon-nucleon…
We discuss applications of previously computed nuclear structure functions (SF) to inclusive cross sections, compare predictions with recent CEBAF data and perform two scaling tests. We mention that the large $Q^2$ plateau of scaling…
The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections of $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{56}$Fe to $^3$He have been measured for the first time. It is shown that these ratios are independent of $x_B$ at Q$^2>$1.4 (GeV/c)$^2$ for $x_B>$ 1.5…
Multifractal scaling analysis of nuclear giant resonance transition probability distributions is performed within the approximation which takes into account the one-particle-one-hole (1p-1h) and 2p-2h states. A new measure to determine the…
Nuclear effects in deep inelastic scattering at low$-x$ are phenomenologically described changing the typical dynamical and/or kinematical scales characterizing the free nucleon case. In a holographic approach, this rescaling is an…
It is shown that nucleonic structure functions are $x-$ and $Q^{2}-$rescaled in nuclei. The $x-$rescaling accounts for nuclear effects in the case of exact scaling, while the $Q^{2}-$rescaling is responsible for a corresponding modification…

We analyze the processes of deep inelastic and quasielastic scattering in the region of x > 1. These processes are found to be very sensitive to the information contained in the nucleon spectral function in nuclei, particularly to the…
