Abstract
The cross sections for quasielastic electron scattering from nine target nuclei from lithium to lead have been measured for an electron incident energy of 500 MeV and a scattering angle of 60\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. The data are interpreted in terms of a Fermi gas model, yielding the nuclear Fermi momentum as a function of atomic number. The Fermi momentum increases from lithium to calcium and remains roughly constant at about 260 $\frac{\mathrm{MeV}}{c}$ from nickel to lead.
