Abstract

We have studied elastic electron scattering from 4He at values of q2, the momentum transfers squared. ranging from 0.5 fm−2 to 10.0 fm−2. Among the models which have been found to fit the new data is modified Gaussian distribution with a half density radius of 1.19 fm and a skin thickness of 1.61 fm.
