A Fully Self-Consistent Cosmological Simulation Pipeline for Interacting Dark Energy Models

Understand

We devise a fully self-consistent simulation pipeline for the first time to study the interaction between dark matter and dark energy.

• We perform convergence tests and show that our code is accurate on different scales.
• Using the parameters constrained by Planck, Type Ia Supernovae, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Hubble constant observations, we perform cosmological N-body simulations.
• We calculate the resulting matter power spectra and halo mass functions for four different interacting dark energy models.
