| contents | State-of-the-art models based on nuclear Density Functional Theory are successful in the description of nuclei throughout the whole nuclear chart. Among them, some differences arise regarding their accuracy. For a given nuclear model, this depends on the procedure adopted to determine the parameters, and, at the same time, new experimental findings constantly challenge theory. In the present work, we present a Bayesian inference study aimed at assessing the performance of the Skyrme Energy Density Functional. For the sake of simplicity and clarity, we restrict to spherical, double-magic nuclei, giving equal emphasis to ground-state and dynamical properties. Our basic constraints are: i) masses and charge radii, which are known to be very sensitive to the saturation energy and density; ii) spin-orbit splittings, which are associated with the spin-orbit parameter(s); iii) the electric dipole polarizability and parity-violating asymmetry, which are associated with the density dependence of the symmetry energy; iv) the excitation energy of the Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance, to constrain the nuclear matter incompressibility; v) the energy-weighted sum rule of the Isovector Giant Dipole Resonance, to account for the isovector effective mass; and vi) the excitation energy of the Isoscalar Quadrupole Resonance, that is related to the isoscalar effective mass. In this way, we test the Skyrme ansatz in a statistically meaningful way, by determining the posterior distributions of the parameters as well as their correlation, and discussing a possible strategy for future developments. |
