Superfluid LDA (SLDA): Local Density Approximation for Systems with Superfluid Correlations

Abstract

We present a concise account of our development of the first genuine Local Density Approximation (LDA) to the Energy Density Functional (EDF) for fermionic systems with superfluid correlations, with a particular emphasis to nuclear systems.
