In a more systematic derivation to be published elsewhere, eq 3 is the response function of a noninteracting electron gas with the density of valence electrons of our metal, and in the presence of an ionic background described by a local dielectric function, which is chosen to fit the measured permittivity in the q = 0 limit.
