Abstract

Recent quasi-elastic electron scattering data on 56Fe are compared with an impulse approximation calculation based on a theoretical nuclear matter spectral function. A y-scaling analysis of the data shows that the scaling limit is approached at lower Q 2 than the theoretical calculation. A new y-scaling analysis based on the properties of the theoretical spectral function is introduced which allows direct comparison of the momentum distribution with the experimental scaling function.
