yscaling, binding effects, and the nucleon momentum distribution inHe3

Abstract
The method, previously used to obtain the nucleon momentum distribution in H2 from the y-scaling analysis of inclusive electron scattering data, is extended to He3. It is shown that the binding correction which has to be handled in this case does not hinder the extraction of the momentum distribution from the scaling function. The obtained momentum distribution satisfactorily agrees with the one extracted from exclusive (e,e’p) reactions.
