Abstract: (APS)
A semirelativistic model based on an approximate solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation used previously to construct a conserved electromagnetic current with arbitrary interaction is generalized to arbitrary processes and extended to many body targets. Although the technique appears valid and useful for introducing kinematic corrections in processes off few body targets, a paradoxical result emerges for large nuclei in that the relevant form factors, which must be evaluated far off-shell, can be dramatically different from that for free nucleons, contrary to the usual picture of the nucleus as composed of nearly free nucleons.
