Description
The nuclear incompressibility parameter, K$_{\infty}$, is an important component characterizing the nuclear equation of state, with crucial bearing on diverse nuclear and astrophysical phenomena. The only direct experimental measurement of this quantity comes from the compression-mode giant resonances--the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) and the isoscalar giant dipole resonance(ISGDR).
In this talk, I will review the current status of determination of nuclear incompressibility, especially the asymmetry term, K$_{\tau}$, and discuss some recent and forthcoming measurements on neutron-rich nuclei, including on $^{132}$Sn at FRIB.
