<i>y</i>scaling in electron-nucleus scattering

Abstract

Data on inclusive electron scattering from A=4, 12, 27, 56, 197 nuclei at large momentum transfer are presented and analyzed in terms of y scaling. We find that the data do scale for y&lt;0 (x&gt;1), and we study the convergence of the scaling function with the momentum transfer ${Q}^{2}$ and A.
