Excitation of the Δ resonance in inclusive ed scattering

The parameters of the pion-electroproduction peak in the cross section for inclusive electron scattering on 1H and d target nuclei are determined for various kinematical conditions of measurements. It is shown that, for low 4-momentum transfers, 0.030≤Q2≤0.086 (GeV/c)2, the Q2 dependence of the shift of the pion-electroproduction peak in the πN invariant mass for a deuteron target with respect to that for a free proton does not exhibit a universal behavior that is characteristic of complex nuclei.
