(STILL EVOLVING)
(If you find any typo or awkward expression, please correct. Thanks in advance!)
This list was created for two purposes. First, this list was constructed to help students to understand the recent methods and techniques discussed (or being discussed) in DES & LSST telecons, so they don't get lost by a bunch of mysterious terminologies. Hence, most of them are from the early stage of DES or include the methods adopted by DES or LSST.
Second, the list was constructed to help students to pick useful and concise papers for journal club presentations. Papers were selected based on these conditions if possible: 1) short; 2) goal is clear and easy to understand; 3) topics covered in papers are very specific and narrow ( measurement papers such as Planck or DES key papers are very important, but were excluded due to this condition ).
The list is still evolving and a bit more DES-oriented. Feel free to edit or add your favorite paper below.
