Using a quasiclassical approximation, we calculate the Q..-->..infinity limit of S(Q,..omega..) for finite potentials with a hard core. For yequivalentm(..omega..-h-dash-barQ/sup 2//2m)/h-dash-barQ, we find QS(Q,..omega..) equals a convolution of the impulse-approximation result F/sub IA/(y) with a ''final-state'' resolution function, R/sub FS/(y), which depends on the structure of the material through the radial distribution function g(r). For realistic g(r), R/sub FS/(y) has smaller full width at half maximum than the Hohenberg-Platzman prediction, zero second moment, and no Lorentzian wings. We compare with previous theoretical work, and we discuss the determination of momentum distributions in quantum solids and fluids from deep-inelastic neutron scattering data.
