Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei atx≃1

The inclusive A(e,e′) cross section for x≃1 was measured on ^2H, C, Fe, and Au for momentum transfers Q^2 from 1 to 6.8 (GeV/c)^2. The scaling behavior of the data was examined in the region of transition from y scaling to x scaling. Throughout this transitional region, the data exhibit ξ scaling, reminiscent of the Bloom-Gilman duality seen in free nucleon scattering.
