Installing WallGo and DRalgo and Their Dependencies
During the workshop, it is essential to have WallGo and DRalgo pre-installed. Below, you will find a comprehensive guide on where to locate and how to set up these tools on your system.
Overview
What and where is WallGo? [GitHub Repository]
WallGo is an open-source code designed for calculating the bubble wall velocity and width during first-order cosmological phase transitions. For more details, refer to the associated scientific article arXiv:2411.04970 and the online documentation (https://wallgo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
The WallGo project consists of one main Python package and two helper packages:
-
WallGo: The primary Python package responsible for determining the wall velocity and width. It solves scalar field equations of motion, Boltzmann equations, and energy-momentum conservation for fluid velocity and temperature.
-
WallGoCollision: A C++ package with Python bindings that performs higher-dimensional integrals to calculate collision terms in the Boltzmann equations. It combines the computational efficiency of C++ with Python usability.
-
WallGoMatrix: A Mathematica-based package for computing matrix elements relevant to out-of-equilibrium particles. It leverages existing Mathematica packages DRalgo and GroupMath.
What is DRalgo? [GitHub Repository]
DRalgo is a Mathematica package for constructing an effective, dimensionally reduced, high-temperature field theory for various models. It performs next-to-leading-order matching automatically. For further details, consult the public release: arXiv:2205.08815.
