The nuclear symmetry energy and other isovector observables from the point of view of nuclear structure
arXiv:1504.01852 · doi:10.5506/APhysPolB.46.395
Abstract
In this contribution, we review some works related with the extraction of the symmetry energy parameters from isovector nuclear excitations, like the giant resonances. Then, we move to the general issue of how to assess whether correlations between a parameter of the nuclear equation of state and a nuclear observable are robust or not. To this aim, we introduce the covariance analysis and we discuss some counter-intuitive, yet enlightening, results from it.
