Neutron Skin Effects on Particle Emission in Heavy-Ion Collisions: A Topic Review with Astrophysical and Nuclear Structure Connections

Bao-Jun Cai, De-Qing Fang, Yu-Gang Ma

The neutron skin, defined by the difference between neutron and proton root-mean-square radii, is a characteristic manifestation of isospin asymmetry and an important probe of the…
