A Study of the Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance The Role of Symmetry Energy in Nuclear Incompressibility in the Open-Shell Nuclei

This thesis reports on investigations of a specific collective mode of nuclear vibration, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR), the nuclear "breathing mode", the energy of which is directly related to a fundamental property of nuclei—the nuclear incompressibility. The alpha inela...
