The most recent development of the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, in which the effect of the mean scalar field in-medium on the hyperfine interaction is also included self-consistently, is used to compute the properties of finite hypernuclei. The calculations for $Lambda$ and $Xi$ hypernuclei are of comparable quality to earlier QMC results without the additional parameter needed there. Even more significantly, the additional repulsion associated with the increased hyperfine interaction in-medium completely changes the predictions for $Sigma$ hypernuclei. Whereas in the earlier work they were bound by an amount similar to $Lambda$ hypernuclei, here they are unbound, in qualitative agreement with the experimental absence of such states. The equivalent non-relativistic potential felt by the $Sigma$ is repulsive inside the nuclear interior and weakly attractive in the nuclear surface, as suggested by the analysis of $Sigma$-atoms.

We study the production of $Xi^-$-hypernuclei, $^{12}_{Xi^{-}}$Be and $^{28}_{Xi^{-}}$Mg, via the ($K^-,K^+$) reaction within a covariant effective Lagrangian model, employing the bound $Xi^-$ and proton spinors calculated by the latest quark-meson coupling model. The present treatment yields the $0^circ$ differential cross sections for the formation of simple s-state $Xi^-$ particle-hole states peak at a beam momentum around 1.0 GeV/c with a value in excess of 1 $mu$b.
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. It offers a natural explanation to some open questions in nuclear theory, including the origin of many-body nuclear forces and their saturation, the spin-orbit interaction and properties of hadronic matter at a wide range of densities. The QMC energy density functionals QMC-I and QMC$pi$-I have been successfully applied to calculate ground state observables of finite nuclei in the Hartree-Fock + BCS approximation, as well as to predict properties of dense nuclear matter and cold non-rotating neutron stars. Here we report the latest development of the model, QMC$pi$-II, extended to include higher order self-interaction of the $sigma$ meson. A derivative-free optimization algorithm has been employed to determine a new set of the model parameters and their statistics, including errors and correlations. QMC$pi$-II predictions for a wide range of properties of even-even nuclei across the nuclear chart, with fewer adjustable parameters, are comparable with other models. Predictions of ground state binding energies of even-even isotopes of superheavy elements with Z$>$96 are particularly encouraging.
We present a selection of the first results obtained in a comprehensive calculation of ground state properties of even-even superheavy nuclei in the region of 96 < Z < 136 and 118 < N < 320 from the Quark-Meson-Coupling model (QMC). Ground state binding energies, the neutron and proton number dependence of quadrupole deformations and Q$_alpha$ values are reported for even-even nuclei with 100 < Z < 136 and compared with available experimental data and predictions of macro-microscopic models. Predictions of properties of nuclei, including Q$_alpha$ values, relevant for planning future experiments are presented.
Short-range quark-quark correlations are introduced into the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model phenomenologically. We study the effect of the correlations on the structure of the nucleon in dense nuclear matter. With the addition of correlations, the saturation curve for symmetric nuclear matter is much improved at high density.
We determine the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter with the inclusion of hyperons in a self-consistent manner by using a Modified Quark Meson Coupling Model (MQMC) where the confining interaction for quarks inside a baryon is represented by a phenomenological average potential in an equally mixed scalar-vector harmonic form. The hadron-hadron interaction in nuclear matter is then realized by introducing additional quark couplings to $sigma$, $omega$, and $rho$ mesons through mean-field approximations. The effect of a nonlinear $omega$-$rho$ term on the equation of state is studied. The hyperon couplings are fixed from the optical potential values and the mass-radius curve is determined satisfying the maximum mass constraint of $2$~M$_{odot}$ for neutron stars, as determined in recent measurements of the pulsar PSR J0348+0432. We also observe that there is no significant advantage of introducing the nonlinear $omega$-$rho$ term in the context of obtaining the star mass constraint in the present set of parametrizations.
