Symmetry energy and neutron star properties in the saturated Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model

In this work, we adopt the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model that ensures the nuclear matter saturation properties to study the density dependence of the symmetry energy. With the interactions constrained by the chiral symmetry, the symmetry energy shows novel characters different from those in convent...
