Systematic trends of neutron skin thickness versus relative neutron excess

Nuclear Theory 2021-09-09 v1

Abstract

Available experimental neutron skin thicknesses of even-even stable Ca, Ni, Sn, Pb, and Cd isotopes are evaluated, and separate trends of neutron skin thickness versus relative neutron excess δ=(NZ)/A\delta=(N-Z)/A are firstly observed for different isotopic chains. This phenomenon is quantitatively reproduced by the deformed Skyrme Hartree-Fock ++ BCS model with SLy4 force.
