Electron scattering for nuclear and nucleon structure /

Scattering of high-energy electrons from nuclear and nucleon targets essentially provides a microscope for examining the structure of these tiny objects. This book examines the motivation for electron scattering, develops the theoretical analysis of the process and summarises present experimental ca...
