# Set up the cosmological parameters
pars = camb.CAMBparams()
pars.set_cosmology(H0=67.5, ombh2=0.022, omch2=0.122)
pars.InitPower.set_params(ns=0.965)
pars.set_for_lmax(2500, lens_potential_accuracy=1)

# Obtain results from CAMB
results = camb.get_results(pars)

# Redshift range
z = np.logspace(-2, 3, 300)

# Galaxy lensing kernel
z0 = 1.0
sigma_z = 1.0
dNdz = np.exp(-(z - z0)**2 / (2 * sigma_z**2))
chi = results.comoving_radial_distance(z)
chi_star = results.comoving_radial_distance(1100)
W_gal = chi * (1 - chi / chi_star) * dNdz

# CMB lensing kernel
W_cmb = 1.5 * pars.omegam * (1 + z) * chi * (chi_star - chi) / chi_star**2

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.plot(z, W_gal/W_gal.max(), label='Galaxy lensing', color='orange')
plt.plot(z, W_cmb/W_cmb.max(), label='CMB lensing', color='blue')
plt.axvline(z[np.argmax(W_gal)], color='black', linestyle='--', linewidth=0.7)
plt.xscale('log')
plt.xlim(z.min(), z.max())
plt.ylim(0, 1.1)
plt.xlabel('Redshift z')
plt.ylabel('Weight $W(z)/W_{max}$')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True, which='both', linestyle='--', linewidth=0.5)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show() 

[math]W_{\text{CMB}}(z) = \frac{3 \Omega_m H_0^2}{2 a(z)} \chi(z) \left(1 - \frac{\chi(z)}{\chi_*} \right)

I want to plot the galaxy lensing and CMB lensing kernel. I suspect that something might be wrong with this plot. I'm sharing my code for this plot. Could you please at this plot and let me know if you see anything wrong with my code?

I appreciate your time and consideration in addressing my query beforehand.
