Abstract:
We investigate the degree to which the scaling functions F(ψ)F(\psi') derived from cross sections for inclusive electron-nucleus quasi-elastic scattering define the same function for different nuclei. In the region where the scaling variable ψ<0\psi'< 0, we find that this superscaling is experimentally realized to a high degree.
