Low-energy excitations and quasielastic contribution to electron-nucleus and neutrino-nucleus scattering in the continuum random-phase approximation
We present a detailed study of a continuum random-phase approximation approach to quasielastic electron-nucleus and neutrino-nucleus scattering. We compare the $(e,e\ensuremath{'})$ cross-section predictions with electron scattering data for the nuclear targets $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, $^{16}\mathrm{O}$, and $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$, in the kinematic region where quasielastic scattering is expected to dominate. We examine the longitudinal …
