TALENT Courses
The TALENT initiative originally singled out five main scientific themes to be covered by TALENT courses:
- Advanced few- and many-body methods
- Theoretical modeling of nuclear phenomena
- Nuclear astrophysics
- Physics of weakly-bound and open quantum systems
- Advanced high-performance computing topics and numerical algorithms.
The content of the main themes were originally broken down in nine courses, with a tenth course added later:
- Course 1: Nuclear forces and their impact in nuclear structure
- Course 2: Many-body methods for nuclear physics
- Course 3: Few-body methods and nuclear reactions
- Course 4: Density functional theory and self-consistent methods
- Course 5: Theory for exploring nuclear structure experiments
- Course 6: Theory for exploring nuclear reaction experiments
- Course 7: Nuclear theory for astrophysics
- Course 8: Theoretical approaches to describe exotic nuclei
- Course 9: High-performance computing and computational tools for nuclear physics
- Course 10: Fundamental symmetries and neutrinos
- Course 11: Bayesian Methods and Machine Learning
The first theme (advanced few- and many-body methods) is covered by the first four courses; the second theme (theoretical modeling of nuclear phenomena) is covered by the fifth course and the sixth course; the third theme (nuclear astrophysics) is covered by the seventh course; the fourth theme (physics of weakly-bound and open quantum systems) is covered by course eight. The fifth theme (advanced high- performance computing topics and numerical algorithms) is covered by the ninth course. The tenth course covers the additional theme of fundamental symmetries and neutrinos and the eleventh course covers uncertainty quantification.
