Energy-density-functional results for magic nuclei and the extrapolations to the nuclear matter equations of state

Abstract:  In this talk I will discuss results from the seven papers given below and their interconnections. They are based upon determining the parameters used in energy-density-functional calculations from binding energies, root-mean-square charge radii, and nucleon separation energies, of magic nuclei including 48Ni and 100Sn. The results are used to make extrapolations to nuclear matter equations of state (EOS) including the symmetry energy and the neutron matter EOS. I will discuss the connections of these EOS to the neutron skin, and the differences in the charge radii of mirror nuclei. I will review some recent related work including those from neutron-star mergers.
