The compression-mode giant resonances, namely the isoscalar giant monopole and
isoscalar giant dipole modes, are examples of collective nuclear motion. Their main interest …

Background: Theoretical approaches based on density functional theory provide the only
tractable method to incorporate the wide range of densities and isospin asymmetries …

I present a review on non relativistic effective energy–density functionals (EDFs). An
introductory part is dedicated to traditional phenomenological functionals employed for …

The nuclear incompressibility is a key parameter of the nuclear equation of state that can be
extracted from the measurements of the so-called “breathing mode” of finite nuclei. The most …

We have investigated the isoscalar giant resonances in the Sn isotopes using inelastic
scattering of 386-MeV α particles at extremely forward angles, including 0°. We have …

A new version of the Barcelona-Catania-Paris energy functional is applied to a study of
nuclear masses and other properties. The functional is largely based on calculated ab initio …

The'breathing mode'of neutron-rich nuclei is our window into the incompressibility of neutron-
rich matter. After much confusion on the interpretation of the experimental data, consistency …

The extended random-phase approximation (RPA) theories are analyzed from the point of
view of the problem of the stability of their solutions. Three kinds of such theories are …

We make use of a subtraction procedure, introduced to overcome double-counting problems
in beyond-mean-field theories, in the second random-phase-approximation (SRPA) for the …

The isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) in even-A Cd isotopes has been studied
by inelastic α-scattering at 100 MeV/u and at extremely forward angles, including 0°. The …
