Title:     Squeezing the nucleus to get Nuclear Incompressibility

Abstract: Nuclear Incompressibility is a crucial component of the nuclear equation of state and has important bearing on diverse nuclear and astrophysical phenomena, including the strength of supernova collapse, and collective flow in medium- and high-energy nuclear collisions. The only direct experimental measurement of nuclear incompressibility comes from the compressional-mode giant resonances. In this talk, I will present results of investigations on the isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR), an exotic mode of nuclear vibration which can be visualized as a hydrodynamic oscillation in which a compressional wave traverses back and forth through the nucleus. The measurements involve inelastic scattering of 400 MeV a particles at very forward angles, including 0 deg, using the powerful 
magnetic spectrometer, Grand Raiden, at RCNP, Osaka, Japan.


Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
