Welcome to CosmoTransitions’s documentation!

CosmoTransitions is a package for analyzing finite or zero-temperature cosmological phase transitions driven by single or multiple scalar fields. It is written and maintained by Carroll L. Wainwright, and is free for public use. If you use CosmoTransitions in scholarly work, please cite Comput. Phys. Commun. 183 (2012) [arXiv:1109.4189].
