Summary
• Neutron skin powerful observable for nuclear structure and the equation of state
• Coherent pion photoproduction complimentary measurement with electromagnetic probe
• First results for 208Pb agree with previous data for neutron skin & additionally constrain the neutron diffuseness
• More data to come !

Want to achieve similar stats as 208Pb data ---> ~65k in 200 +-2.5 MeV bin
~3 hours data Sn gave ~2.5k – need ~3 days get 45k
Need ~6 days for ½ mm thick target (similar to the proposal)

• New high quality nuclear 0 photoproduction data will give timely constraints on nuclear structure and neutron stars
• Complementary measurement to PREX with different systematic uncertainties
• Nuclear decay photon detection to tag incoherent processes -> accurate matter form factors for lighter nuclei
