Lepton Scattering off Few-Nucleon Systems at Medium and High Energies
The interpretation of recent Jlab experimental data on the exclusive process
A(e,e'p)B off few-nucleon systems are analyzed in terms of realistic nuclear
wave functions and Glauber multiple scattering theory, both in its original
form and within a generalized eikonal approximation. The relevance of the
exclusive process 4He(e,e'p)^3H for possible investigations of QCD effects is
illustrated.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. Plenary talk given by C. Ciofi degli Atti at the

Observation of Nuclear Scaling in the Reaction at 1
The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections of He,
C, and Fe to He have been measured for the first time. It is
shown that these ratios are independent of at Q1.4 (GeV/c) for
1.5 where the inclusive cross section depends primarily on the
high-momentum components of the nuclear wave function. The observed scaling
shows that the momentum distributions at high-momenta have the same shape for
all nuclei and differ only by a scale factor. The observed onset of the scaling
at Q1.4 and 1.5 is consistent with the kinematical expectation that
two nucleon short range correlations (SRC) are dominate the nuclear wave
function at 300 MeV/c. The values of these ratios in the scaling
region can be related to the relative probabilities of SRC in nuclei with
A3. Our data demonstrate that for nuclei with A12 these
probabilities are 5-5.5 times larger than in deuterium, while for He it is
larger by a factor of about 3.5.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
