In nuclear physics, the symmetry energy reflects the variation of the binding energy of the nucleons in the nuclear matter in function of its neutron to proton ratio. Symmetry energy is an important parameter in the equation of state describing the nuclear structure of heavy nuclei and neutron stars.[1][2][3]
