Electron scattering from ¹²C in the Short-Time approximation

The Short-time approximation, developed in the context of quantum Monte Carlo calculations, allows the calculation of nuclear responses in nuclei with A≥12. It exploits a factorization scheme that consistently retains two-body physics, both in two-body currents and correlations. We will present calculations of response densities and functions in ¹²C in the range of momenta q=300-650 MeV. We will discuss the interpolation scheme used to obtain responses for arbitrary values of q necessary to evaluate cross-sections, and present results for differential cross-sections for electron scattering from ¹²C.
