Abstract

In this work we introduce a new set of parameters (rg,sg)(r_{g}, s_{g}) involving the linear growth of matter perturbation that can distinguish and constrain different dark energy models very efficiently. Interestingly, for Λ\LambdaCDM model these parameters take exact value (1,1)(1,1) at all red shifts whereas for models different from Λ\LambdaCDM, they follow different trajectories in the (rg,sg)(r_{g}, s_{g}) phase plane. By considering the parametrization for the dark energy equation of state (ww) and for the linear growth rate (fgf_{g}), we show that different dark energy behaviours with similar evolution of the linear density contrast, can produce distinguishable trajectories in the (rg,sg)(r_{g}, s_{g}) phase plane. Moreover, one can put stringent constraint on these phase plane using future measurements like EUCLID ruling out some of the dark energy behaviours.
