A User-Friendly Dark Energy Model Generator
Abstract
We provide software with a graphical user interface to calculate the phenomenology of a wide class of dark energy models featuring multiple scalar fields. The user chooses a subclass of models and, if desired, initial conditions, or else a range of initial parameters for Monte Carlo. The code calculates the energy density of components in the universe, the equation of state of dark energy, and the linear growth of density perturbations, all as a function of redshift and scale factor. The output also includes an approximate conversion into the average equation of state, as well as the common parametrization. The code is available here: http://github.com/kahinton/Dark-Energy-UI-and-MC
