Abstract

Deep-inelastic inclusive electron-scattering cross sections from ${}^{40}{Ca}$ , ${}^{48}{Ca}$ , and ${}^{56}{Fe}$ have been measured at 60°, 90°, and 140° and at energy transfers including the $Δ (3, 3)$ region. The transverse response function in the momentum interval 300 MeV/c <|q| < 600 MeV/c was extracted by the Rosenbluth prescription. Different theoretical approaches to the quasielastic region are compared to the data. A mass-number scaling is observed.
