The nuclear symmetry energy and the breaking of the isospin symmetry: how do they reconcile with each other?

Our current knowledge of the Equation of State of asymmetric nuclear matter around saturation density and of the energy of the Isobaric Analog State in a heavy nucleus such as 208Pb seem to be in contradiction. In Ref. [1], the problem has been highlighted and a solution has been proposed. In the pr...
