Much is understood about the interaction of both high energy electrons with nucleons and lower energy electrons with nucleons and nuclei. Although a number of experiments involving high energy inelastic scattering of electrons from quarks bound in nuclei have been performed, many interpretations of the data are still discussed. A project called PEGASYS was conceived at PEP to further investigate this physics. Unfortunately, the termination of PEP operations curtailed this experiment and much of the physics remains unexplored. In this paper we present some details of one proposed part of this project (tagged nuclear structure functions) and some considerations made in designing a detector suitable for observing very low momentum nuclear fragements around a cold-cluster gas target.
