SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 Cole Pruitt, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 
 will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The presentation 
 is titled "Neutron Skins from Neutron Scattering: 
 How Well Do We Understand Asymmetry-Dependence?"\n
 \n
 The 
 abstract is as follows: Many 
 fundamental questions of nuclear physics (where 
 is the neutron dripline? where and how does 
 the r-process occur?) hinge on how nuclear 
 behavior changes as a function of asymmetry. 
 Neutron elastic and inelastic scattering measurements 
 on stable targets help constrain reaction-model 
 asymmetry-dependence by providing 
 information complementary to that from facilities 
 like FRIB. This seminar will detail our 
 recent campaign of isotopically-resolved neutron 
 total cross section measurements on 16,18O, 
 58,64Ni, 112,124Sn at the Los Alamos Neutron 
 Science Center (LANSCE) and our implementation 
 of the Dispersive Optical Model (DOM), 
 which connects these experimental cross sections 
 to nuclear structure. From our DOM analysis, 
 we make predictions for the neutron skin 
 thicknesses of several cornerstone nuclei, then 
 identify some major hurdles for the next generation 
 of optical models needed to navigate 
 the FRIB era.\n\n
