Abstract: We have investigated the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (GMR) in the Sn isotopes, using inelastic scattering of 400-MeV $\alpha$-particles at extremely forward angles, including 0 deg. A value of -550 \pm 100 MeV has been obtained for the asymmetry term, $K_\tau$, in the nuclear incompressibility.<br />Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of the International Nuclear Physics Conference (INPC2007), Tokyo, Japan, June 3-8, 2007
