Efficiency corrected single ratios of neutron and proton spectra in central Sn 112+ 112 Sn and Sn 124+ 124 Sn collisions at 120 MeV/u are combined with double ratios to provide constraints on the density and momentum dependencies of the isovector mean-field potential. Bayesian analyses of these data reveal that the isoscalar and isovector nucleon effective masses, m s⁎− m v⁎ are strongly correlated. The linear correlation observed in m s⁎− m v⁎ yields a nearly independent constraint on the effective mass splitting Δ m n p⁎=(m n⁎− m p⁎)/m N=− 0.05− 0.09+ 0.09 δ. The correlated constraint on the standard symmetry energy, S 0 and the slope, L at saturation density yields the values of symmetry energy S (ρ s)= 16.8− 1.2+ 1.2 MeV at a sensitive density of ρ s/ρ 0= 0.43− 0.05+ 0.05.
