Differential cross sections for quasielastic electron scattering on 40Ca have been measured at laboratory scattering angles of 45.5°, 90°, and 140° with bombarding energies ranging from 130 to 840 MeV. Transverse and longitudinal response functions have been extracted for momentum transfers from 300 to 500 MeV/c. Contrary to some previously reported results, the total observed longitudinal strength agrees with the relativistic Fermi gas prediction to within ±18%.
