Information content of the differences in the charge radii of mirror nuclei
PG Reinhard, W Nazarewicz - Physical Review C, 2022 - APS
Differences in the charge radii of mirror nuclei have been recently suggested to contain
information on the slope of the symmetry energy L. To test this hypothesis, we perform …
