Constraining Isovector Nuclear Interactions with Giant Dipole Resonance and Neutron Skin in ^208Pb from a Bayesian Approach

The remaining uncertainties in relation to isovector nuclear interactions call for reliable experimental measurements of isovector probes in finite nuclei. Based on the Bayesian analysis, although neutron-skin thickness data or isovector giant dipole resonance data in ^208Pb can constrain only one isovector interaction parameter, correlations among other parameters can also be built. Using combined data for both the neutron-skin thickness and the isovector giant dipole resonance helps to significantly constrain all isovector interaction parameters; as such, it serves as a useful methodology for future research.
