In this work, we present a consistent ab initio computation of the longitudinal response function RL in 40Ca using the coupled-cluster and Lorentz integral transform methods starting from chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions. We validate our approach by comparing our results for RL in 4He and the Coulomb sum rule in 40Ca against experimental data and other calculations. For RL in 40Ca we obtain a very good agreement with experiment in the quasielastic peak up to intermediate momentum transfers, and we find that final state interactions are essential for an accurate description of the data. This work presents a milestone towards ab initio computations of neutrino-nucleus cross sections relevant for experimental long-baseline neutrino programs.
