Abstract

The inelastic continuum of scattered electrons by He 4 nuclei, observed experimentally by the Stanford group, is worked theoretically by using the conventional forms of wave functions for He 4, He 3, and the triton. It is pointed out that two kinds of scattering are involved in the cross section; one is connected with the direct process in which a nucleon can be ejected through the direct interaction with the electromagnetic field induced by the ess in which a nucleon is capable of being ejected through the intermediary of nuclear interaction with another nucleon which does interact with the electromagnetic field. Comparison with experiments appears to be rather good, though qualitatively, allowing far the approximate nature of the method of computation. The main nuclear reaction connected with the observed inelastic continuum is shown to be the ejection of nucleon from He 4 except for the low-energy tail where the pion production is observed to take place according to the Stanford group.
