Abstract

Quasi-elastic electron scattering on nucleons bound in light nuclei is considered using the electron-nucleon interaction of McVoy and Van Hove. The shell, model with the harmonic-oscillator potential is assumed to describe the bound nucleons in the initial state. The outgoing nucleon is represented by a plane wave and the probability of the nucleon reabsorption is taken into account by means of a reduction factor. Comparison of the quasi-elastic scattering contribution with the inelastic, experimental cross-section for4He,12C and16O is presented. The importance of possible effects of short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations is discussed.
