The scattering of high-energy electrons from nuclear and nucleon
targets provides a microscope for examining the structure of these
tiny objects. The best evidence we have on what nuclei and nucleons
actually look like comes from electron scattering. This 2001 book
examines the motivation for electron scattering and develops the
theoretical analysis of the process. It discusses our theoretical
understanding of the underlying structure of nuclei and nucleons at
appropriate levels of resolution and sophistication, and summarizes
experimental electron scattering capabilities. Only a working
knowledge of quantum mechanics and special relativity is assumed,
making this a suitable textbook for graduate and advanced
undergraduate courses. It will also provide a valuable summary and
reference for researchers already working in electron scattering
and other areas of nuclear and particle physics. This text has been
reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
