The elastic electron scattering is the main experimental source of information on the electromagnetic size of nucleus. These experiments consist of scattering of high-energy electrons from target nuclei and studying the energy and angular distributions of the scattered electrons.nTheoretically the electron-nucleus interaction is well understood (it is the electromagnetic interaction with the nuclear charge and current densities) and for light nuclei it is possible to analyse the scattering within the conventional framework of the first Born approximation.
