We analyze cross sections for Quasi-Elastic inclusive scattering of electrons on nuclei and show that the observed isolated peaks for relatively low $Q^2$ are unique for the lightest targets. Focusing in particular on D and $^4$He, we…

The role played by the effective residual interaction in the transverse nuclear response for quasi-free electron scattering is discussed. The analysis is done by comparing different calculations performed in the Random--Phase Approximation…
We argue that, in many situations, fits to elastic scattering data that were historically, and frequently still are, considered `good', are not justifiably so describable. Information about the dynamics of nucleon-nucleus and…

Nuclear model effects in neutrino-nucleus quasielastic scattering are studied within the distorted wave impulse approximation, using a relativistic shell model to describe the nucleus, and comparing it with the relativistic Fermi gas. Both…
Understanding nuclear effects is essential for improving the sensitivity of neutrino oscillation measurements. Validating nuclear models solely through neutrino scattering data is challenging due to limited statistics and the broad energy…
We study $eA$ scattering in a model where the total nuclear structure function is a convolution of components $W_N$ for an isolated nucleon and $W_{\NA}$ for a nucleus composed of point-nucleons. $W_N$ is represented by its elastic and…
