Abstract
The nuclear matter equation of state (EOS) plays an important role in our understanding of nuclear bulk properties, as well as processes taking place in the stellar environments (i.e. dynamics of supernovae collapse and structure of neutron stars). The EOS also sheds light on the phase transitions taking place in the heavy ion collision reactions. Its exact determination is being pursued extensively, both experimentally and theoretically. Nuclear incompressibility is an important parameter of the nuclear matter EOS. The centroid energy of one of the nuclear compression modes – the isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance (ISGMR) – is a direct experimental tool to constrain the value of nuclear matter incompressibility.
