Abstract
A relativistic mean-field single particle knockout model is compared to inclusive electron scattering from a range of nuclei and at high electron energy, but in kinematics where the cross section is dominated by the quasielastic response. These experiments were done with incident electron energies of approximately 2 GeV at SLAC with four-momentum transfer squared of approximately We include the effects of electron Coulomb distortion in the calculation, and propose a simple way of including Coulomb distortion at high energies which can be used to analyze newer experiments at Jefferson Lab. The effects of the predicted weakening of the strong scalar and vector potentials of the model at high nucleon kinetic energy are included in our model.
