In a previous communication we reported on a parametrization of the observed enhancement in the transverse electron quasielastic (QE) response function for nucleons bound in carbon as a function of the square of the four momentum transfer (Q2) in terms of a correction to the magnetic form factors of bound nucleons. That parametrization was used to predict the overall magnitude and Q2 dependence of the cross section for neutrino quasielastic scattering on nuclear targets. In this paper, we extend the study to include parametrizations of both the Q2 as well as the energy transfer (ν) dependence of the transverse enhancement. These parametrization can be used to give a more complete two dimensional description of the neutrino quasielastic scattering process on nuclear targets, which is essential for precision studies of mass splitings and mixing angles in neutrino oscillation experiments.
