Abstract

Deep inelastic electron scattering cross sections have been measured from $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$ at energies between 100 and 375 MeV and at scattering angles of 90\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 140\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. Longitudinal and transverse response functions at three-vector momentum transfers of 330, 370, and 410 MeV/c were extracted from these data using a Rosenbluth separation. The integrated longitudinal response functions for the three momentum transfers are found to have, respectively, 65%, 75%, and 90% of the longitudinal strength predicted by the Fermi gas model.NUCLEAR REACTIONS Deep inelastic electron scattering from $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$, extracted transverse and longitudinal response functions.
