Theoretical uncertainties count: parity violating asymmetry and dipole polarizability in 208Pb

Abstract

Abstract In this contribution, we overview a recent theoretical work [1] where a sound statistical and systematic analysis based on nuclear Energy Density Functionals of the parity violating asymmetry and dipole polarizability in 208Pb has been presented. Based on our results, we predict a neutron skin thickness in 208Pb which barely overlaps the lower-edge of the estimation presented in [2] and is consistent with much of the previous work.
