Abstract
We propose a procedure to extrapolate the nuclear spectral
function 
obtained from nonrelativistic many-body
theory to large values of three-momentum and removal energy.
Our approach is based on phenomenological information
extracted from both soft hadron-nucleus interactions,
in the regime where the proton inclusive spectrum is dictated by
Regge asymptotic, and deep-inelastic lepton-nucleus collisions.
The extrapolated is used to compute the semi-inclusive
spectra of backward protons produced in electron-nucleus
scattering.
