Abstract
Inelastic α-particle scattering at energies of a few hundred MeV and very-forward
scattering angles including 0° has been established as a tool for the study of the isoscalar giant
monopole (IS0) strength distributions in nuclei. This compressional mode of nuclear excitation can
be used to derive the incompressibility of nuclear matter. An independent investigation of the IS0 strength in nuclei across a wide mass range was
performed using the 0◦
facility at iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences (iThemba
LABS), South Africa, to understand differences observed between IS0 strength distributions in
previous experiments performed at the Texas A&M University (TAMU) Cyclotron Institute, USA
and the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Japan.
