Constraints on the symmetry energy from PREX-II in the multimessenger era
The neutron skin thickness Δr_{np} of heavy nuclei is essentially determined by the symmetry energy density slope L(ρ) at ρ_{c}=0.11fm^{−3}≈2/3ρ_{0} (ρ_{0} is nuclear saturation density), roughly corresponding to the average density of finite nuclei. The PREX collaboration recently reported a model-...
