Description

The nature of dark energy has been a growing point of debate in recent years, particularly after the DESI measurements of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. While frequentist metrics appear to indicate a growing preference for a dynamical dark energy, some bayesian approaches indicate otherwise. Beyond this, there also lies the question of whether there exists a physical motivation behind any phenomenological parametrisation of dynamical dark energy.
The model described in this talk is motivated from computations of the non-perturbative QCD vacuum, which we parametrise into a dynamic, non-local contribution to the energy density, described by two additional cosmological parameters. I will describe how this model compares against both CPL and ΛCDM on the latest cosmological datasets, in both χ² statistics and Bayesian model comparison.
