Abstract

The transverse electron scattering response function of 3He was recently studied by us in the quasi-elastic peak region for momentum transfers q between 500 and 700 MeV/c. Those results, obtained using the Active Nucleon Breit frame (ANB), are here supplemented by calculations in the laboratory, Breit and ANB frames using the two-fragment model discussed in our earlier work on the frame dependence of the the longitudinal response function R_L(q,omega). We find relatively frame independent results and good agreement with experiment especially for the lower momentum transfers. This agreement occurs when we neglect an omega-dependent piece of the one-body current relativistic correction. An inclusion of this term leads however to a rather pronounced frame dependence at q=700 MeV/c. A discussion of this term is given here. This report also includes a correction to our previous ANB results for R_T(q,omega).
