Abstract

We show that quasi-elastic inclusive scattering data on light nuclei for medium Q² furnish information on G_Mⁿ, whereas the deep-inelastic region for large Q² provides the Structure Function F₂ⁿ(x,Q²). Common to the two extractions is the possibility to de-convolute medium effects, which is most accurately done for light targets. Results are independent of the target.
