Giant monopole resonance and nuclear compression modulus for 'ANTPOT.40 Ca' and 'ANTPOT.16 O'

Using a collective potential derived previously on the basis of the generator coordinate method with Skyrme interactions, we obtain values for the compression modulus of 40Ca which are in good agreement with a recently obtained experimental value. Calculated values for the compression modulus for 16O are also given. The procedure involved in the derivation of the collective potential is briefly reviewed and discussed.
