Electron scattering and nuclear structure

摘要

These lectures are divided into two parts. First, an elementary intro- duction to elelctron scattering is presented, starting with the scattering of a non-relativistic lepton from a charge distribution, the extending to a rel- ativistic Dirac electron, and finally including the quantum dynamics of the target. The relation to gamma decay is discussed. The analysis is repeated in a covariant manner and target structure functions defined.
