The workshop will discuss theoretical calculations of neutron skins and experimental techniques to measure them.
Theoretical calculations include:
1) Chiral effective field theory and other microscopic approaches of symmetric, asymmetric nuclear, and pure neutron matter -- including properties of three neutron forces, and convergence of the chiral expansion as a function of density.
2) Microscopic coupled cluster and no core shell model calculations of neutron skins in light and medium mass nuclei and the role of three neutron forces.
3) Density functional calculations of medium and heavy nuclei including neutron-skin predictions with properly quantified error bars and their correlation to other observables, such as the location of the neutron drip line.
4) Calculations of crustal properties of neutron star, nuclear pasta, and possible correlations to neutron skins.
From the experimental side, the workshop will discuss and compare a variety of techniques focusing on their relative merits and on the realistic estimates of systematic errors.
Experiments include:
1) parity-violating electron scattering,
2) measurements of the electric dipole polarisability,
3) coherent pion photo-production,
4) proton nucleus elastic scattering,
5) study of pygmy resonance and other low lying excitations in very neutron rich nuclei, and
6) coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering.
