Giant Resonances are, with nuclear rotations, the most evident expression of collectivity in finite nuclei. These two categories of excitations, however, are traditionally described within different formal schemes, such that vibrational and…
We have extended the compressible liquid-drop model (CLDM) with a density-dependent surface term (eCLDM), which allows for a unified description of both the nuclear ground state energies and the incompressibility modulus in finite nuclei…

Background: The isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) splits into two peaks in prolately deformed nuclei. When a nucleus is triaxially deformed, a peak appears in the middle between the two peaks. Purpose: We investigate the mechanism…

Recent data on isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) in the calcium isotopes $^{40,44,48}$Ca have suggested that $K_\tau$, the asymmetry term in the nuclear incompressibility, has a positive value. A value of $K_\tau > 0$ is entirely…
