This thesis reports on investigations of a specific collective mode
of nuclear vibration, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance
(ISGMR), the nuclear "breathing mode", the energy of which is
directly related to a fundamental property of nuclei-the nuclear
incompressibility. The alpha inelastic scattering experiments
reported in this thesis have been critical to answering some
fundamental questions about nuclear incompressibility and the
symmetry energy, quantities that are crucial to our understanding
of a number of phenomena in nuclear physics and astrophysics,
including collective excitations in nuclei, radii of neutron stars,
and the nature of stellar collapse and supernova explosions. The
work described included three sets of experiments and subsequent
sophisticated data analysis, both leading to results that have been
welcomed by the community and recognised as important contributions
to the field.
