Description
The Quark–Meson–Coupling (QMC) model self-consistently relates the dynamics of the internal quark structure of a hadron to the relativistic mean fields arising in nuclear matter. The QMC energy density functional (EDF) was successfully employed to investigate several ground state properties of even-even finite nuclei across the nuclear chart. In this presentation, the latest developments in the QMC EDF which includes higher-order density dependence as well as tensor and pairing interactions, will be discussed. Most importantly, predictions of the QMC model for several nuclear observables for all even-even finite nuclei will be presented. Such predictions were found to be comparable with results from other nuclear models despite having significantly fewer number of the QMC model parameters.
