Abstract

The decaying vacuum model (DV), treating dark energy as a varying vacuum, has been studied well recently. The vacuum energy decays linearly with the Hubble parameter in the late-times, ρΛ(t)H(t)\rho_\Lambda(t) \propto H(t), and produces the additional matter component. We constrain the parameters of the DV model using the recent data-sets from supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, baryon acoustic oscillations, CMB, the Hubble rate and x-rays in galaxy clusters. It is found that the best fit of matter density contrast Ωm\Omega_m in the DV model is much lager than that in Λ\LambdaCDM model. We give the confidence contours in the Ωmh\Omega_m-h plane up to 3σ3\sigma confidence level. Besides, the normalized likelihoods of Ωm\Omega_m and hh are presented, respectively. %
