Density-dependent symmetry energy at subsaturation densities from nuclear mass differences

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We extract the mass-dependent symmetry energy coefficients asym(A)a_{\text{sym}}({A}) with the nuclear mass differences reducing the uncertainties as far as possible. The estimated asym(A)a_{\text{sym}}({A}) of 208Pb^{208}\text{Pb} is 22.4±0.322.4\pm 0.3 MeV, which is further used to analyze the density-dependent nuclear matter symmetry energy at subsaturation densities. The slope parameter of the symmetry energy at the saturation density ρ0ρ_{0} is L=50.0±15.5L=50.0\pm15.5 MeV. Furthermore, it is found that, at the density of ρ=0.69ρ0=0.11ρ=0.69ρ_{0}=0.11fm−3^{-3}, the symmetry energy S(ρ=0.11fm−3)=25.98±0.01S(ρ=0.11\text{fm}^{-3})=25.98\pm0.01 MeV and the correspondingly slope parameter is L=49.6±6.2L=49.6\pm6.2 MeV, which are consistent with other independent analysis.
