Constraining the Skyrme Effective Interactions and the Neutron Skin Thickness of Nuclei Using Isospin Diffusion Data from Heavy Ion Collisions
Recent analysis of the isospin diffusion data from heavy-ion collisions based on an isospinand momentum-dependent transport model with in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections has led to the extraction of a value of L = 88±25 MeV for the slope of the nuclear symmetry energy at saturation density. This imposes stringent constraints on both the parameters in the Skyrme effective interactions and ...
متن کاملDetermining the Density Dependence of the Nuclear Symmetry Energy Using Heavy-ion Reactions
We review recent progress in the determination of the subsaturation density behavior of the nuclear symmetry energy from heavy-ion collisions as well as the theoretical progress in probing the high density behavior of the symmetry energy in heavy-ion reactions induced by high energy radioactive beams. We further discuss the implications of these results for the nuclear effective interactions an...
متن کاملNuclear symmetry energy probed by neutron skin thickness of nuclei.
We describe a relation between the symmetry energy coefficients c(sym)(rho) of nuclear matter and a(sym)(A) of finite nuclei that accommodates other correlations of nuclear properties with the low-density behavior of c(sym)(rho). Here, we take advantage of this relation to explore the prospects for constraining c(sym)(rho) of systematic measurements of neutron skin sizes across the mass table, ...
متن کاملPygmy dipole resonance in 130,132Sn isotopes and the neutron skin thickness
The pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) manifests itself as a concentration of dipole strength near the neutron separation threshold below the giant dipole resonance (GDR) domain. It is related to structural changes in nuclei with a large neutron excess giving rise to a neutron skin. According to theoretical calculations, a very precise measurement of the neutron skin thickness in heavy doubly magic n...
متن کاملDensity dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy: a microscopic perspective
We perform a systematic analysis of the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy within the microscopic Brueckner–Hartree–Fock (BHF) approach using the realistic Argonne V18 nucleon-nucleon potential plus a phenomenological three body force of Urbana type. Our results are compared thoroughly to those arising from several Skyrme and relativistic effective models. The values of the param...
