Description

A new analysis of inclusive quasielastic electron scattering data for 3He is presented. integrated momentum distributions are derived from the data for the first time and the Q2 dependence is shown to exhibit a slight deviation from perfect scaling. If interpreted as a change in the nucleon radius, a result for the ratio of the nucleon radius in 3He to the free-nucleon radius of 1.025 +- 0.011 is obtained, corresponding to an upper limit of 3.6% for the radius increase
