Abstract
We put a stringent constraint on the isovector nuclear interactions in the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model from the centroid energy E−1 of the isovector giant dipole resonance in 208Pb as well as its electric polarizability αD. Using the Bayesian analysis method, E−1 and αD are found to be mostly determined by the nuclear symmetry energy Esym at about ρ⋆=0.05 fm−3 and the isovector nucleon effective mass mv⋆ at the saturation density. At 90% confidence level, we obtain Esym(ρ⋆)=16.4−0.9+1.0 MeV and mv⋆/m=0.79−0.06+0.06.
Highlights
Observables of finite nuclei serve as good probes of nuclear interactions and nuclear matter properties at and below the saturation density
