Description
The Jefferson Laboratory parity violating electron scattering experiments PREX and CREX cleanly measure the neutron densities of 208Pb and 48Ca. This has implications for the equation of state of neutron rich matter and the structure of neutron stars. We compare PREX results to NICER X-ray telescope observations of neutron star radii and LIGO gravitational wave observations of neutron star deformabilities. We discuss the coming CREX results for 48Ca that will constrain Chiral EFT three neutron forces.
