We report on empirical parametrizations of longitudinal and transverse nuclear excitation electromagnetic form factors in 12C and 16O. We extract the contribution of nuclear excitations to the normalized inelastic Coulomb sum rule [SL(q)] as a function of momentum transfer q and find that it is significant (0.29 ± 0.030 at q = 0.22 GeV). The total contributions of nuclear excitations to SL(q) in 12C and 16O are found to be equal within uncertainties. Since the cross sections for nuclear excitations are significant, the radiative tails from nuclear excitations should be included in precise calculations of radiative corrections to quasielastic electron scattering at low q and deep-inelastic electron scattering at large energy transfers ν. The parametrizations also serve as a benchmark in testing theoretical modeling of cross sections for excitation of nuclear states in electron and neutrino interactions on nuclear targets at low energies.
