## Abstract

We study the binding energy differences of the valence proton and neutron of the mirror nuclei, $^{15}$O - $^{15}$N, $^{17}$F - $^{17}$O, $^{39}$Ca - $^{39}$K and $^{41}$Sc - $^{41}$Ca, using the quark-meson coupling model. The calculation involves nuclear structure and shell effects explicitly. It is shown that binding energy differences of a few hundred keV arise from the strong interaction, even after subtracting all electromagnetic corrections. The origin of these differences may be ascribed to the charge symmetry breaking effects set in the strong interaction through the u and d current quark mass difference. In this report, we first review the quark-meson coupling model. In particular, we discuss about the nucleon mass in nuclear medium. Then, we present details of the charge symmetry breaking in finite nuclei, especially the Okamoto-Nolen-Schiffer anomaly.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
