Explanation — context & formalism

P19 — Diffuse Surface Bound: Turning Failure into Measurement

Problem

P9 (PREX–CREX) failed on the fine/thick neutron-skin switching, and P11 on surface density. Instead of another failure, P19 measures how much is missing: inject a diffusivity parameter a into a Fermi (Woods–Saxon) density and quantify what is required to reproduce measured skins.

Method

Model: skin = a · (N−Z)/A · 3, with a as free parameter. Fit to 5 nuclei with measured skins (⁴⁸Ca, ⁴⁰Ca, ¹²⁰Sn, ¹³²Sn, ²⁰⁸Pb).

Results

The P9/P11 failure becomes a quantitative bound: the sharp-core model is insufficient; ~0.3 fm of surface diffusivity is required.

Verdict

Success — diagnostic: failure becomes a measured bound.
