Quantify correlations between the neutron skin and other quantities characterizing finite nuclei and infinite nuclear matter. How will additional data on neutron-rich nuclei (e.g., masses) help us constraining the neutron skin?

Quantify correlations between the neutron skin and other quantities characterizing finite nuclei and infinite nuclear matter. • How will additional data on neutron-rich nuclei (e.g., masses) help us constraining the neutron skin? • Can one make reliable estimates of neutron-to-proton radii for open-shell nuclei, important in the context of parity violation, where deformation and pairing effects are large? • Quantify the regions of instability of the nuclear energy density functional • Is there an evidence for the isovector component of the pairing functional?
