WallGoCollision 1.1.0

Python bindings for WallGo Collision module

WallGoCollision

Scientific library for computing Boltzmann collision integrals, written in C++ with Python bindings provided. WallGoCollision is part of the WallGo toolset for the computation of the bubble wall velocity and bubble wall width in first-order cosmological phase transitions. The physical and mathematical details are explained in the associated paper.

Documentation for WallGoCollision: https://wallgocollision.readthedocs.io.

Requirements

Python 3.10 or newer is required for the Python bindings. If building from source, you need a C++17 compliant compiler and CMake 3.18 or newer. See the documentation for more details on source builds.

Installation

Stable releases of the Python bindings are available on PyPI and can be installed with pip:

pip install WallGoCollision

See also the releases page.

A manual build and linking is needed if you wish to use the C++ API directly. For source builds, see the documentation.

Quickstart

The quickstart page in documentation should get you started. Example implementations of concrete physics models are available on the WallGo repository.
