Manifestation of one- and two-body currents in longitudinal and transverse response functions of the $$^{12}$$C nucleus at $$q = 300$$ MeV/c

Abstract

The experimental values of longitudinal and transverse response functions of the 12C 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 12C nucleus, and also, to the contributions of both the one-body currents only, and their combination with two-body currents.
