Abstract

The excess pion inside the nucleus could change not only nucleons structure function, but also electron scattering cross section from nuclei. In this paper, we calculate pionic contribution in nuclear structure functions of 3He and 3H nuclei and the differential cross sections of electron scattering from these nuclei. At first, we calculate the Fermi motion and binding energy contribution as an important nuclear medium effect in scattering cross sections and then we add pionic contribution to structure functions and differential cross sections of electron scattering from these nuclei that the Fermi motion and binding energy are considered.
