The Matter Radius of 132Sn and the CREX-PREX Dilemma
J. Piekarewicz
The density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy remains a central open problem in nuclear physics. Parity violating electron scattering experiments have provided largely mode…
Experimental study of Cr via the reaction
M. Spieker, L. A. Riley, M. Heinze +24
Excited states in Cr were studied via the Cr reaction up to the neutron-separation threshold. Proton- angular correlations and decay branching ratios w…
Elucidating the role of the surface energy in density functional theory
Md Jafrul Islam, Athul Kunjipurayil, J. Piekarewicz +1
The saturation of symmetric nuclear matter -- reflected in the nearly constant interior density of heavy nuclei -- is a defining property of nuclear matter. Modern relativistic ene…
From CREX to CEvNS: The Weak Radius of 40Ar
J. Piekarewicz
Despite significant theoretical efforts, the CREX-PREX dilemma remains unresolved, preventing the reliable prediction of neutron (or weak-charge) radii that, besides their intrinsi…
Role of the isovector spin-orbit potential in mitigating the CREX-PREX dilemma
Athul Kunjipurayil, Marc Salinas, J. Piekarewicz
Pioneering electroweak measurements of the neutron skin thickness in lead-208 and calcium-48 are challenging our understanding of nuclear dynamics. Many theoretical models suggest…
Assessing the impact of uniform rotation on the structure of neutron stars
Marc Salinas, Jorge Piekarewicz
Driven by recent laboratory experiments and astronomical observations, significant advances have deepened our understanding of neutron-star physics. NICER's Pulse Profile Modeling…
Simultaneous Extraction of the Weak Radius and the Weak Mixing Angle from Parity-Violating Electron Scattering on
Matteo Cadeddu, Nicola Cargioli, Jens Erler +4
We study the impact of nuclear structure uncertainties on a measurement of the weak charge of at the future MESA facility in Mainz. Information from a large varie…
A universal reduced basis for the calibration of covariant energy density functionals
Amy L. Anderson, J. Piekarewicz
The reduced basis method is used to construct a "universal" basis of Dirac orbitals that may be applicable throughout the nuclear chart to calibrate covariant energy density functi…
A Bayesian mixture model approach to quantifying the empirical nuclear saturation point
C. Drischler, P. G. Giuliani, S. Bezoui +2
The equation of state (EOS) in the limit of infinite symmetric nuclear matter exhibits an equilibrium density, , at which the pressure vanishe…
Impact of tensor interactions and scalar mixing on covariant energy density functionals
Marc Salinas, Jorge Piekarewicz
The recent pioneering campaigns conducted by the Lead Radius Experiment (PREX) and the Calcium Radius Experiment (CREX) collaborations have uncovered major deficiencies in the theo…
Correlating isothermal compressibility to nucleon fluctuations in the inner crust of neutron stars
R. Shafieepour, H. R. Moshfegh, J. Piekarewicz
The question of how and which physical observables or thermodynamic parameters can best predict the onset of a possible phase transition in the inner crust of neutron stars remains…
From noise to information: The transfer function formalism for uncertainty quantification on nuclear density reconstruction
Giuliani Pablo, Piekarewicz Jorge
The neutron distribution of neutron-rich nuclei provides critical information on the structure of finite nuclei and neutron stars. Parity violating experiments -- such as PREX and…
Density Functional Theory: Methods and Problems
R. J. Furnstahl
The application of density functional theory to nuclear structure is discussed, highlighting the current status of the effective action approach using effective field theory, and o…
