Response functions for deep inelastic scattering from /sup 40/Ca

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Deep inelastic electron scattering cross sections have been measured from /sup 40/Ca at energies between 100 and 375 MeV and at scattering angles of 90/sup 0/ and 140/sup 0/. Longitudinal and transverse response functions at three-vector momentum transfers of 330, 370, and 410 MeV/c were extracted from these data using a Rosenbluth separation. The integrated longitudinal response functions for the three momentum transfers are found to have, respectively, 65%, 75%, and 90% of the longitudinal strength predicted by the Fermi gas model.
