Measuring deformed neutron skin with free spectator nucleons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

The neutron skin in deformed nuclei is generally not uniformly distributed but has an angular distribution, depending on both the spin-dependent nuclear interaction and the nuclear symmetry energy. To extract the information of the deformed neutron skin, we have explored the possibility of using fre...
