Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at x {approx_equal} 1.

The inclusive A(e,e{prime}) cross section for x{approx_equal}1 was measured on {sup 2}H, C, Fe, and Au for momentum transfers Q{sup 2} from 1 to 6.8 (GeV/c){sup 2}. The scaling behavior of the data was examined in the region of transition from y scaling to x scaling. Throughout this transitional region, the data exhibit {xi} scaling, reminiscent of the Bloom-Gilman duality seen in free nucleon scattering.
