Abstract

We calculate in a semiclassical RPA approach the nuclear charge response of 12C, 40Ca, and 56Fe in the quasi-elastic peak region for moderate momentum transfers (q = 1.0-2.0 fm-1). Using the Gogny force and taking full account of antisymmetrization effects we find with no free parameters good agreement with the (e, é) data for 12C. However for 40Ca and 56Fe the missing charge problem persists. Arguments that this may be due to strong influence of 2p-2h states in the isovector channel are advanced.
