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 behavior of the nuclear matter response in the region of large momentum transfer, in which plane wave impulse approximation predicts the onset of y-scaling, is discussed. The theoretical analysis shows that scaling violations produced…
We study the $y$ and $\xi$--scaling of the nuclear response at large momentum transfer in order to understand how scaling based on very different descriptions of the elementary interaction can occur simultaneously. We find that the…
We propose an interpretation of the $\xi$-scaling behavior of nuclear structure functions observed at Bjorken $x>1$ and $Q^2 \lesssim 4 \, {\rm (GeV/c)^2}$. We show that at $\xi \gtrsim 1$, $\xi$-scaling might arise accidentally because of…
A relativistic single particle model is used to calculate the inclusive $(e,e')$ reaction from $A=$12, 40, 56, 197, and 208 nuclei in the quasielastic region. We have shown that this model provides a very good description of the available…
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…
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…
Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at low momentum transfer (corresponding to x>1) and moderate Q^2 is dominated by quasifree scattering from nucleons. In the impulse approximation, the cross section can be directly connected to the…
