Abstract
Because of their purely electromagnetic interaction, charged leptons provide the most precise probe of the nuclear many-body wave function presently available. Although, in principle, precise scattering data for e +, e -, μ, +, and μ -, and bound-state energy levels for e - and μ - could provide a wealth of complementary information, in practice the most useful information presently arises from muonic X-rays in medium and heavy nuclei and from electron scattering data. The challenge to which this present review is addressed is to utilize the available information from muonic X-rays and elastic electron scattering as a tool to critically test our present theoretical understanding of the nuclear wave function.
