Cross sections on the low energy loss side of the quasi-elastic peak (xBj > 1) are extracted for carbon, aluminum, iron and gold. The data cover four-momentum transfers squared of 0.97 to 5.73 GeV 2 =c 2 . The measured cross sections are compared to cross sections calculated using a microscopic spectral function. The cross section results are also analyzed in terms of the two scaling functions F (y) and f(?'). For both the data is found to be independent of the momentum transfer (scaling of the first kind). For f(?') the data is in addition independent of the mass number A (scaling of the second kind) and thus exhibits superscaling properties.
