From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In
nuclear physics, the symmetry energy reflects the variation of the
binding energy of the
nucleons in the
nuclear matter depending on its
neutron to
proton ratio as a function of baryon density. Symmetry energy is an important parameter in the
equation of state describing the nuclear structure of heavy
nuclei and
neutron stars.
