Description
The isospin symmetry breaking part of the nuclear interaction is a small part of the whole; however, it sometimes gives important contributions to nuclear properties, such as the difference of mirror nuclei, the isobaric analog states, and the neutron-skin thickness. The isospin symmetry breaking terms also affect the estimation of the slope parameter of the nuclear symmetry energy.
In this talk, I will first summarize our recent study on the isospin symmetry breaking in nuclear properties and point out the lack of precise determination of the effective nuclear interaction or energy density functional for the isospin symmetry breaking terms. Then, I will introduce our recent attempt to determine the energy density functional of the isospin symmetry breaking terms. Finally, I will present some future perspectives.
