Tensor-force effects on nuclear matter. (IMAGE) Science China Press Caption The binding energies per particle for (a) symmetric nuclear matter (SNM) and (b) pure neutron matter (PNM) calculated with (solid lines and full symbols) and without (dotted lines and empty symbols) tensor forces. (c) The symmetry energy difference obtained by performing the RBHF calculations with and without tensor force. Credit ©Science China Press Usage Restrictions Use with credit.
