The assumption that underlies this electron penetrating into the nucleus business is that the electron will cause a nuclear reaction when it penetrates the nucleus.
I don't remember seeing any cross sections of this sort of reaction. There have been many atom smasher studies that explore the nature of quarks were high energy electrons are used a probes. These electrons away exit the nucleus at some angle without effecting the nucleus. R Mills technology is based on this assumption. So show me a reaction channel cross section were electron penetration of the nucleus can cause nuclear reactions. I have seen alpha, neutron, gamma, photon. but never electron reaction cross sections.
