abstract

We present a general parallelized and easy-to-use code to perform numerical simulations of structure formation using the COLA (COmoving Lagrangian Acceleration) method for cosmological models that exhibit scale-dependent growth at the level of first and second order Lagrangian perturbation theory. For modified gravity theories we also include screening using a fast approximate method that covers all the main examples of screening mechanisms in the literature. We test the code by comparing it to full simulations of two popular modified gravity models, namely $f(R)$ gravity and nDGP, and find good agreement in the modified gravity boost-factors relative to $\Lambda$CDM even when using a fairly small number of COLA time steps.

The Status of Single Scalar Field Dark Energy

astro-ph.CO · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 4.5

Cosmological data can constrain only a handful of EFT parameters for single-scalar dark energy; extended models show modest preference over Λ but remain underdetermined and challenged by fifth forces and screening.

  • Testing Scale-Dependent Modified Gravity with DESI DR1 astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-29 · accept · none · ref 20

    DESI DR1 constrains the modified gravity parameter to log10 |f_R0| < -4.59 at 95% CL, implying no detectable fifth force on scales below about 18 Mpc.
