he nuclear root-mean-square charge radius of

{}_{54}{Ni}

was determined with collinear laser spectroscopy to be

R ({}_{54}{Ni}) = 3.737 (3) fm

. In conjunction with the known radius of the mirror nucleus

{}_{54}{Fe}

, the difference of the charge radii was extracted as

Δ R_{ch} = 0.049 (4) fm

. Based on the correlation between

Δ R_{ch}

and the slope of the symmetry energy at nuclear saturation density (

L

), we deduced

21 \leq L \leq 88 MeV

. The present result is consistent with the

L

from the binary neutron star merger GW170817, favoring a soft neutron matter EOS, and barely consistent with the PREX-2 result within

1 σ

error bands. Our result indicates the neutron-skin thickness of

{}_{48}{Ca}

as 0.15–0.21 fm.
