Abstract
Electron scattering is one of the experimental tools used to study the internal structures of atomic nuclei, playing an essential role in revealing their detailed structure and establishing modern pictures of nuclear structures. This chapter first reviews the research on the nuclear structure using electron scattering carried out to date, wherein the targeted nuclei were strictly limited to stable nuclei, while no electron scattering has yet been conducted for short-lived nuclei. However, following long-term efforts, electron scattering for such unstable nuclei is about to become a reality, with the world’s first electron scattering facility dedicated to unstable nuclei beginning operations at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory in Japan. The physics cases and the opportunities of such a facility are discussed.
