3 He Transverse Electron Scattering Response Function with Δ Degrees of Freedom

A calculation of the 3 He transverse ( e , e ′) inclusive response function, R T , which includes Δ degrees of freedom is performed using the Lorentz integral transform method. The resulting coupled equations are treated in impulse approximation, where the NNN and NN Δ channels are solved separately. R T is calculated for the breakup threshold region at a momentum transfer of q = 862 MeV/c.
