Parameter counting in relativistic mean-field models

TL;DR: In this article, power counting is applied to relativistic mean-field energy functionals to estimate contributions to the energy from individual terms in finite nuclei, and the estimates establish a hierarchy of model parameters and identify how many parameters are well constrained by bulk nuclear observables.
