Longitudinal sum rule for inelastic electron scattering and nucleon-nucleon correlations

We have considered the influence of short-range dynamical and statistical correlations on the inelastic scattering of electrons from light nuclei. The correlation effects are discussed on the example of the longitudinal sum rule for the 16O and 12C nuclei. A remarkable increase in the sum rule, caused by the short-range correlations at medium momentum transfers (100–200 MeV), is pointed out.
