Abstract

The correlations between the electric dipole polarizability, the symmetry energy, and neutron skin thickness are studied by the doubly magic nuclei \(^{{48}}\)Ca, \(^{{68}}\)Ni, and \(^{{208}}\)Pb. The strength distribution of the \(E1\) transitions is calculated within the random phase approximation model based on the Skyrme nuclear energy density functional. A comparison with the experimental data has allowed us to constrain the value of the nuclear symmetry energy \(J = 31 - 38\) MeV.
