Does CAMB include the parameterisation (w0, wa) for the dark
Hi Everyone,
Does CAMB include the parameterisation (w0, wa) for the dark energy equation of state? It looks like the general code assumes w0 is a constant. There is a new 'quintessence' patch, but I can't figure out if this works for the (w0, wa) parameterisation (the link to the notes is broken).
Thanks, Anais.

Thanks, Anais.

Hi Anais!
You can add the parametrization just by changing the equations.f90 file properly (do not forget to change the equations for the dark energy perturbations as well, since now the time derivative of w is not zero) and by adding the extra parameter wa in the params.ini file. You should also change the inidriver.f90 file, of course...
Let me know if that works!

The notes are at

Of course if adding w_a you either need to restrict to models where w doesn't cross -1, or ignore problems that occur when it does.

Thanks Olga and Antony. I'll have a look at this.

Also, you can have a look at the Mathematica Interface for CAMB, which allows for any 2 parameter w(z) equation of state, and can be found at (binaries, demo videos of the interface and documentation):
