We report on our recent ab-initio calculation of the inclusive longitudinal electron scattering off 4He with two- and three-nucleon forces [1]. The full four-body continuum dynamics is considered exactly via the Lorentz integral transform method. We show results for various kinematics up to q=500 MeV/c and compare it with available experimental data. The great importance of the final state interaction is demonstrated. The plane wave impulse approximation particularly fails in the quasi-elastic peak at low energies. The effect of the three-nucleon force results in the reduction of the quasi-elastic peak by 10% for momentum transfers q between 300 and 500 MeV/c. A good agreement with experimental data is found in the peak region. Only at q=500 MeV/c some discrepancies between theory and experiment are present in the low- and high-energy range. Interestingly, the effect of the three-nucleon force increases significantly at lower q, up to about 40% at q=100 MeV/c. Our findings suggest that the longitudinal response function is an electromagnetic observable, where one can learn about the not yet well established three-nucleon force. Unfortunately, at low momentum transfer experimental data are still missing.
