Modification of Growth with CAMB

 






MGCAMB is a variant of CAMB to calculate observables of CMB, WL, galaxy counts and their cross-correlations when gravity gets modified.

Download the Fortran 90 source code here. This version June, 2009


Usage:

The compilation/running procedure, and the format of the output are the same of CAMB sources, but note that MGCAMB needs more memory (1.5GB+) . If you want to specify the model, edit the subroutines fderivs and output in equations.f90, and re-compile.


Features:

  1. -CMB, WL, counts auto- and cross-correlation spectra for general effective Newton constant and the ratio of gravitational potentials

  2. -Bugs in Limber approximation part of CAMB sources fixed, see details on cosmocoffee.


Tests:


































Version history


June 2009

  1. An I/O bug fixed (thanks to Matteo Viel)

  2. A bug related to non-linear matter power spectrum fixed (thanks to Francesco De Bernardis) . Note that this HaloFit based correction may not be accurate in modified gravity. See arXiv:0902.0618 for more realistic implementation.


Sep 2008

  1. First version released
