The purpose of this contribution is twofold. First, I will highlight the status and some of the successes of nonrelativistic DFT, which is still, to date, the microscopic nuclear model with the broadest range of applicability. Some examples of applications, like the solution of the puzzle of the nuclear matter incompressibility and the case of nuclear photonics, will be discussed.

An overview on spin observables as a tool to study the medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. 30' minute talk
In the study of spin-polarization phenomena in heavy-ion collisions, it is
typically assumed that final-state particles are polarized through thermal vorticity
and shear. In this sense, polarization is a final-state effect. Here, we propose a
different mechanism. We postulate that the collision of spin-carrying nucleons
generates an initial transverse spin density, inducing a net...
We present a new method to compute the full non-equilibrium corrections to the Wigner function of a Dirac field from hadronic interactions after decoupling, including hadron-gas interactions and dissipative contributions. We compute the resulting corrections to both the spectrum and the spin-polarization vector at any order in linear response theory.
