The Role of Final State Interactions in Quasielastic $^{56}$Fe$(e,e')$   Reactions at large $|\vec q|$
  A relativistic finite nucleus calculation using a Dirac optical potential is used to investigate the importance of final state interactions [FSI] at large momentum transfers in inclusive quasielastic electronuclear reactions. The optical potential is derived from first-order multiple scattering theory and then is used to calculate the FSI in a nonspectral Green's function doorway approach. At intermediate momentum transfers excellent predictions of the quasielastic $^{56}$Fe$(e,e')$ experimental data for the longitudinal response function are obtained. In comparisons with recent measurements at $|{\vec q|}=1.14$~GeV/c the theoretical calculations of $R_L$ give good agreement for the quasielastic peak shape and amplitude, but place the position of the peak at an energy transfer of about $40$~MeV higher than the data.
