The incompressibility (compression modulus) $K_{rm 0}$ of infinite symmetric nuclear matter at saturation density has become one of the major constraints on mean-field models of nuclear many-body systems as well as of models of high density matter in astrophysical objects and heavy-ion collisions. We present a comprehensive re-analysis of recent data on GMR energies in even-even $^{rm 112-124}$Sn and $^{rm 106,100-116}$Cd and earlier data on 58 $le$ A $le$ 208 nuclei. The incompressibility of finite nuclei $K_{rm A}$ is expressed as a leptodermous expansion with volume, surface, isospin and Coulomb coefficients $K_{rm vol}$, $K_{rm surf}$, $K_tau$ and $K_{rm coul}$. textit{Assuming} that the volume coefficient $K_{rm vol}$ is identified with $K_{rm 0}$, the $K_{rm coul}$ = -(5.2 $pm$ 0.7) MeV and the contribution from the curvature term K$_{rm curv}$A$^{rm -2/3}$ in the expansion is neglected, compelling evidence is found for $K_{rm 0}$ to be in the range 250 $ < K_{rm 0} < $ 315 MeV, the ratio of the surface and volume coefficients $c = K_{rm surf}/K_{rm vol}$ to be between -2.4 and -1.6 and $K_{rm tau}$ between -840 and -350 MeV. We show that the generally accepted value of $K_{rm 0}$ = (240 $pm$ 20) MeV can be obtained from the fits provided $c sim$ -1, as predicted by the majority of mean-field models. However, the fits are significantly improved if $c$ is allowed to vary, leading to a range of $K_{rm 0}$, extended to higher values. A self-consistent simple (toy) model has been developed, which shows that the density dependence of the surface diffuseness of a vibrating nucleus plays a major role in determination of the ratio K$_{rm surf}/K_{rm vol}$ and yields predictions consistent with our findings.

We present an analysis based on the deformed Quasi Particle Random Phase Approximation, on top of a deformed Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov description of the ground state, aimed at studying the isoscalar monopole and quadrupole response in a deformed nucleus. This analysis is motivated by the need of understanding the coupling between the two modes and how it might affect the extraction of the nuclear incompressibility from the monopole distribution. After discussing this motivation, we present the main ingredients of our theoretical framework, and we show some results obtained with the SLy4 and SkM$^{*}$ interactions for the nucleus ${}^{24}$Mg.
We systematically investigate the vacuum stability and nuclear properties in the effective chiral model with higher order terms in $sigma$. We evaluate the model parameters by considering the saturation properties of nuclear matter as well as the normal vacuum to be globally stable at zero and finite baryon densities. We can find parameter sets giving moderate equations of state, and apply these models to finite nuclei.

Within a Bayesian statistical framework using the standard Skyrme-Hartree-Fcok model, the maximum a posteriori (MAP) values and uncertainties of nuclear matter incompressibility and isovector interaction parameters are inferred from the experimental data of giant resonances and neutron-skin thicknesses of typical heavy nuclei. With the uncertainties of the isovector interaction parameters constrained by the data of the isovector giant dipole resonance and the neutron-skin thickness, we have obtained $K_0 = 223_{-8}^{+7}$ MeV at 68% confidence level using the data of the isoscalar giant monopole resonance in $^{208}$Pb measured at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Japan, and at the Texas A&M University (TAMU), USA. Although the corresponding $^{120}$Sn data gives a MAP value for $K_0$ about 5 MeV smaller than the $^{208}$Pb data, there are significant overlaps in their posterior probability distribution functions.

Both the incompressibility Ka of a finite nucleus of mass A and that ($K_{infty}$) of infinite nuclear matter are fundamentally important for many critical issues in nuclear physics and astrophysics. While some consensus has been reached about the $K_{infty}$, accurate theoretical predictions and experimental extractions of $K_{tau}$ characterizing the isospin dependence of Ka have been very difficult. We propose a differential approach to extract the Kt and Ki independently from the Ka data of any two nuclei in a given isotope chain. Applying this new method to the Ka data from isoscalar giant monopole resonances (ISGMR) in even-even Pb, Sn, Cd and Ca isotopes taken by U. Garg {it et al.} at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Osaka University, Japan, we find that the $^{106}$Cd-$^{116}$Cd and $^{112}$Sn-$^{124}$Sn pairs having the largest differences in isospin asymmetries in their respective isotope chains measured so far provide consistently the most accurate up-to-date Kt value of $K_{tau}=-616pm 59$ MeV and $K_{tau}=-623pm 86$ MeV, respectively, largely independent of the remaining uncertainties of the surface and Coulomb terms in expanding the $K_{rm A}$, while the $K_{infty}$ values extracted from different isotopes chains are all well within the current uncertainty range of the community consensus for $K_{infty}$. Moreover, the size and origin of the Soft Sn Puzzle is studied with respect to the Stiff Pb Phenomenon. It is found that the latter is favored due to a much larger (by $sim 380$ MeV) Kt for Pb isotopes than for Sn isotopes, while the Ki from analyzing the Ka data of Sn isotopes is only about 5 MeV less than that from analyzing the Pb data.
The Quark-Meson-Coupling model, which self-consistently relates the dynamics of the internal quark structure of a hadron to the relativistic mean fields arising in nuclear matter, provides a natural explanation to many open questions in low energy nuclear physics, including the origin of many-body nuclear forces and their saturation, the spin-orbit interaction and properties of hadronic matter at a wide range of densities up to those occurring in the cores of neutron stars. Here we focus on four aspects of the model (i) a full comprehensive survey of the theory, including the latest developments, (ii) extensive application of the model to ground state properties of finite nuclei and hypernuclei, with a discussion of similarities and differences between the QMC and Skyrme energy density functionals, (iii) equilibrium conditions and composition of hadronic matter in cold and warm neutron stars and their comparison with the outcome of relativistic mean-field theories and, (iv) tests of the fundamental idea that hadron structure changes in-medium.
