Abstract
In this contribution we discuss double-polarised quasi-elastic electron scattering from \({}^{3}\mathrm {He}\) and \({}^{12}\mathrm {C}\). For these nuclei precise data from recent experiments at Jefferson Lab and Mainz have become available, accompanied by a very strong theoretical effort dedicated to understanding these nuclei. The double polarisation experiments presented here offer insight into some of the details of the nuclear structure that could not be accessed by traditional cross-section measurements. The new experimental results show only rough agreement with the calculations and indicate that we do not yet fully understand the structure of these nuclei and nucleon dynamics inside them. Although the new data do not identify sources of the remaining discrepancies, they offer valuable clues that could lead to faster convergence of the theoretical models towards experimental results.
