Neutron skin of 208Pb and density dependence of the symmetry energy

  • 1. Physics Department, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho 83844 (United States)

Description

We explore neutron skin predictions for 208Pb in relation to the symmetry pressure in various microscopic models based on realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials and either the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach or the conventional Brueckner-Hartree-Fock framework implemented with three-body forces. We also discuss the correlation between the neutron skin and the radius of a fixed-mass neutron star.
