camb vs cmbfast output
Posted: February 26 2008
Hi,
I'm trying to modify CAMB and
I'm a little bit confused about the variables used in camb respect, for
example, to cmbfast.
In particular:
CMBFAST uses \eta, \dot{\eta}, \dot{h} and \alpha=\dot{h}+6\dot{\eta}
and write the Einstein equations for these quantities (eq. 21a-21b-21d in notation of Ma-Bertschinger)
CAMB uses: etak=k\eta, Z=\dot{h}/2k and \sigma=(0.5*\dot{h}+3\dot{\eta})/k
and write the Einstein equations for these quantities,
but these are 3 variables and
I think I should consider another one and write the relative
Einstein equation: in other words, I can't find an equation for
the shear (corresponding to eq.21d in Ma-Bertshinger).
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance
Paolo
