Popis: The paper presents the multipole expansion for the electron-nucleus scattering cross section at high energies within the framework of the unified electroweak theory. The electroweak currents of the nucleus are expanded into the simple components with definite angular momenta, called the multipole form factors. The multipole expansion of the cross section is a consequence of the above expansion. Besides the familiar electromagnetic form factors, there are also the vector and axial form factors, respectively, related to weak interactions. To determine multipole form factors, general formulas for the calculation of reduced matrix elements are established using the fractional parentage coefficient method and the multiparticle shell model. Calculation of them enables us to obtain more detailed information about the nuclear structure and elucidate the role played by the weak interaction in the high-energy reaction mechanisms.
