Correlated structure of nuclear symmetry energy from covariant nucleon self-energy

Abstract

Based on the Hugenholtz-Van Hove theorem, the symmetry energy $J$ and its density slope parameter $L$ are decomposed in terms of the nucleon self-energies within the covariant density functional (CDF) theory. It is found that two structural connections between the different ingredients of $J$ and $L$ construct the fundamental correlation between $L$ and $J$ in the relativistic covariant framework, while the additional contribution from the isovector scalar channel of nucleon-nucleon interaction and those from the second-order symmetry self-energies lead to a deviation, especially the latter limits severely its correlation coefficient and confidence level. In addition, the relationship between the Landau mass $M_L^{\ast }$ and the Dirac mass $M_D^{\ast }$ is approximated to a reliable linear correlation, which is demonstrate to be sensitive to the momentum dependence of the nucleon self-energies.
