lensing sources in camb

Post by bin hu » August 29 2013

Dear all,

I find that the anisotropic stress contribution from radiation and neutrino are not included in the lensing source in the subroutine "output" of "equations.f90" even in the latest version

******************************************************************
!phi_lens = Phi - 1/2 kappa (a/k)^2 sum_i rho_i pi_i
!Neglect pi contributions because not accurate at late time anyway
phi = -(dgrho +3*dgq*adotoa/k)/(k2*EV%Kf(1)*2)
! - (grhor_t*pir + grhog_t*pig+ pinu*gpnu_t)/k2

sources(3) = -2*phi*f_K(tau-tau_maxvis)/(f_K(CP%tau0-tau_maxvis)*f_K(CP%tau0-tau))
! sources(3) = -2*phi*(tau-tau_maxvis)/((CP%tau0-tau_maxvis)*(CP%tau0-tau))
!We include the lensing factor of two here
******************************************************************
As far as I know, there is the only point where the lensing sources are computed. Does the massive neutrino contribution to the lensing sources are included at some other places?

Thanks in advance!

No, that's it. I agree it would probably be a good idea to add those terms back in, esp. for non-vanilla models.
