Abstract

The experimental values of longitudinal and transverse response functions of the \(^{12}\)C nucleus have been obtained at the 3-momentum transfer \(q = 300\) MeV/c. The data are compared with the calculations made with due regard to the dynamics of all the nucleons constituting the \(^{12}\)C nucleus, and also, to the contributions of both the one-body currents only, and their combination with two-body currents.
