Abstract
Inclusive quasielastic electron scattering by few-body systems, complex nuclei, and nuclear matter is analyzed in terms of y scaling using a nucleon spectral function which incorporates the momentum and removal energy distributions generated by two-nucleon correlations. It is demonstrated that binding effects play a relevant role in y scaling and that a qualitative interpretation of the available experimental data would require the simultaneous consideration of ground state correlations and final state interaction effects.
