Improving our understanding of the symmetry energy
Description
Studies if isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter (IANM) are especially important and timely as they support rich on-going and future experimental effort. In this talk, I will review the theoretical framework we adopt to calculate the properties of IANM. I will then demonstrate the crucial role isovector mesons play for the symmetry energy. The importance of a microscopic (rather than phenomenological) approach is highlighted. (author)
