Description
We calculate the cross section of the electron scattering from a bound nucleon within light-front approximation.
The advantage of this approximation is the possibility of systematic account for the off-shell effects which become essential in high energy electro-nuclear processes aimed at probing the nuclear structure at small distances.
We derive a new dynamical parameter which allows to control the extend of the "off-shellness" of electron - bound-nucleon cross section for different regions of momentum transfer and initial light-cone momenta of the bound nucleon.
The derived cross section is compared with the results of other approaches treating the off-shell effects in electron-nucleon scattering.
