Fine structure of giant resonances carries important information on the coherent motion of nucleons in collective modes of excitations and on the role of different damping mechanisms of giant resonances. A systematic study of the fine structure of giant resonances for the example of the ISGQR was carried out using high-resolution inelastic proton scattering at iThemba LABS on a variety of closed-shell and deformed nuclei. The fine structure is established as a global phenomenon. Novel wavelet analysis methods have been developed for the extraction of characteristic energy scales of the fluctuations in the fine structure. New experimental results will be presented together with an interpretation of their physical nature based on various microscopic approaches including the coupling to complex configurations.
