Quintessence with Yukawa Interaction

TL;DR

This paper investigates a dark energy model where quintessence interacts with dark matter through a Yukawa coupling, using cosmological data to constrain its viability and potential forms.

Contribution

It introduces a quintessence dark energy model with Yukawa interaction and constrains it using multiple cosmological observations.

Findings

The model is consistent with current cosmological data.

A suitable scalar potential can support the interacting scenario.

The model remains a viable alternative to standard dark energy models.

Abstract

We consider a quintessence model for dark energy interacting with dark matter via a Yukawa interaction. To put constraints on this model we use the CMB measurements from the Planck satellite together with BAO, SNIa and $H_0$ data. We conclude that this is a viable model and an appropriate scalar potential can favor the interacting scenario.
