Physics-informed interpretable forms for dipole resonances and quantities relevant for astrophysics

Abstract

We have employed Bayesian inference to extract the centroid energies and widths from the isovector giant dipole resonance (IVGDR) data for the IVGDR built on the ground states of nuclei.These IVGDR properties were modeled by explicitly incorporating the structural effects like isospin asymmetry, nuclear deformation and shell correction. The resulting parametrizations reproduce the IVGDR systematics with remarkable precision for both spherical and axially deformed nuclei. Subsequently, the extracted IVGDR parameters were used to constrain the coefficients of the nuclear symmetry energy, which are found to be in good agreement with recent measurements of nuclear dipole polarizability. Furthermore, these symmetry-energy coefficients were employed to predict the dipole polarizability within different self-consistent mean-field models and to investigate its correlation with the neutron-skin thickness. The present findings provide valuable input for large-scale calculations of radiative capture processes relevant to nuclear astrophysics and for improving our understanding of astrophysical scenarios under extreme conditions.
