A method is presented to extract the neutron-skin thickness of atomic nuclei from the second and fourth moments of the electric charge distribution. We show that the value of the proton fourth moment must be independently known in order to…
[Background] Very lately, the CREX group presents a skin value $\Delta R_{\rm skin}^{48}({\rm CREX}) =0.121 \pm 0.026\ {\rm (exp)} \pm 0.024\ {\rm (model)}=0.071\sim 0.171$~fm. Meanwhile, the PREX group reported a skin value $\Delta R_{\rm…
A well-established observation in nuclear physics is that in neutron-rich spherical nuclei the distribution of neutrons extends farther than the distribution of protons. In this work, we scrutinize the influence of this so called…
The dispersive optical model (DOM) as presently implemented can investigate the isospin (nucleon asymmetry) dependence of the Hartree-Fock-like potential relevant for nucleons near the Fermi energy. Data constraints indicate that a…

Analysis of data involving nuclei far from stability often requires optical potential (OP) for neutron scattering. Since neutron data is seldom available, while proton scattering data is more abundant, it is useful to have estimates of the…
