Abstract

Quasielastic electron scattering from a dense electron gas is calculated in a relativistic random phase approximation. A narrow peak is seen in the longitudinal response due to a collective mode. A similar collective mode in a finite system could account for the sharp e+ and e- lines seen in collisions between very high Z ions.
