| Abstract | |
We investigate the contributions of various reaction channels to the interaction, reaction, charge-changing and neutron-changing cross sections. The goal is to investigate the relation between microscopic interactions and the symmetry energy component of the equation of state (EoS) of interest for the structure of neutron stars. We compare the neutron skins extracted from diverse experimental techniques with those obtained with Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations using 23 Skyrme and with eight density-dependent interactions used in the relativistic mean-field method. We show that no particular conclusion can be drawn on the best EoS in view of the wide range of uncertainty in the experimental data. We further investigate the prospects of using neutron-changing reactions to assess the isospin dependence of the neutron skin in neutron-rich nuclei. (AU) | |
