==== Week 2: Density functional theory for atomic nuclei  ====
==== Monday, July 21 ====
* {{ring-forces.pdf|Peter Ring 3}}: Nuclear forces: Invariance properties, general properties, spin and isospin structure.
==== Tuesday, July 22 ====
* {{cours1.pdf|Nicolas Schunck 1}}: Phenomenological nuclear forces: Skyrme and Gogny forces, concept of energy density functional (EDF), effective pseudopotentials. 

A detailed demonstration of the contribution to the energy density coming from the $t_{0}$ term of the Skyrme potential is presented {{demo.pdf|here}}. If I were you, I would check that the derivation is correct, since I actually forgot some important summations in class...
==== Wednesday, July 23 ====
* {{cours2.pdf|Nicolas Schunck 2}}: Density functional theory (DFT): Existence theorems, Kohn-Sham scheme in electronic structure theory; the energy density functional (EDF) framework in nuclear structure. 
==== Thursday, July 24 ====
* {{dme.pdf|Scott Bogner 3}}: Need for realistic nuclear potentials, general introduction to Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory, introduction to the density matrix expansion, various techniques for DME.
==== Friday, July 25 ====
* {{dmeday2.pdf|Scott Bogner 4}}: Connections between density matrix expansion of nuclear potentials and Skyrme-like functionals, realistic potentials from chiral effective field theory, strategies for building microscopic energy functionals.
