Isospin asymmetry of the beta-stable nucleus, neutron drip-line nucleus, and MBN as a function of neutron number given by the WS3.3 model

Caption

Together with results by some nuclear mass models (denoted by pink block), calculations suggest that the isospin asymmetry of heavy nuclei at the neutron drip line tends toward a saturation value. The locations of the saltation for isospin asymmetries of the neutron drip-line nucleus show the corresponding relationship to the magic numbers.
