Microscopic Calculation of the Inclusive Electron Scattering Structure Function in ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}O$

We calculate the charge form factor and the longitudinal structure function for ${}^{16}\mathrm{O}$ and compare with the available experimental data, up to a momentum transfer of $4{\mathrm{fm}}^{-1\mathrm{}}$. The ground-state correlations are generated using the coupled-cluster [ $\exp \left(\mathbf{S}\right)$] method, together with the realistic $v18\mathrm{}$ $\mathrm{NN}$ interaction and the Urbana IX three-nucleon interaction. Center-of-mass corrections are dealt with by adding a center-of-mass Hamiltonian to the usual internal Hamiltonian, and by means of a many-body expansion for the computation of the observables measured in the center-of-mass system.
