We consider a dark energy scenario driven by a scalar field $\phi$ with a pseudo Nambu Goldstone boson (pNGB) type potential $V(\phi)=\mu^4 \left( 1+ {\rm cos}(\phi/f) \right)$. The pNGB originates out of breaking of spontaneous symmetry at…

We analyze the observational constraints on the model where a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) plays the role of dark energy. The constraints are derived by using the latest Gold set of 182 type Ia supernovae and the CMB shift parameter.…
