Uncertainty Analysis of 208Pb Neutron Skin Predictions with Chiral Interactions

We report predictions for the neutron skin in 208Pb using chiral two- and three-body interactions at increasing orders of chiral effective field theory and varying resolution scales. Closely related quantities, such as the slope of the symmetry energy, are also discussed. The sensitivity of the skin...
