contents We consider first order local minimization problems of the form $\min \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}f(u,\nabla u)$ under a mass constraint $\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}u=m$. We prove that the minimal energy function $H(m)$ is always concave, and that relevant rescalings of the energy, depending on a small parameter $\varepsilon$, $Γ$-converge towards the $H$-mass, defined for atomic measures $\sum_i m_iδ_{x_i}$ as $\sum_i H(m_i)$. We also consider Lagrangians depending on $\varepsilon$, as well as space-inhomogeneous Lagrangians and $H$-masses. Our result holds under mild assumptions on $f$, and covers in particular $α$-masses in any dimension $N\geq 2$ for exponents $α$ above a critical threshold, and all concave $H$-masses in dimension $N=1$. Our result yields in particular the concentration of Cahn-Hilliard fluids into droplets, and is related to the approximation of branched transport by elliptic energies.
