Nuclear Structure and Reactions

Speaker

Description

One challenging aspect of the modern study of atomic nuclei is to understand how they emerge from QCD. After reviewing the development of the quark meson coupling model, we show that it does indeed provide a quantitative theory of nuclear structure starting at the quark level. We then present some of the latest results obtained with the model, from superheavy nuclei to the potential interaction with a particular form of dark matter.
