Simple ≠ Natural• Simplest possibility, consistent with all data to date, is a constant: Einstein’s Cosmological Constant• Particle physics provides sources for such a constant
• But the energy scales associated with particle physics scale cutoffs and transitions give energy densities (ρ ~ E4) at least ~60 orders of magnitude too large• For a bare CC to cancel these contributions would seem to require exquisite fine tuning

Value of Local Measurements• With high redshifts fixed, the largest deviations from the dark
energy appear at low redshift z ∼ 0
• By the Friedmann equation H2 ∝ ρ and difference between H(z)
extrapolated from the CMB H0 = 38 and 67 is entirely due to thedark energy density in a flat universe
• With the dark energy density fixed by H0, the deviation from theCMB observed D∗ from the ΛCDM prediction measures theequation of state (or evolution of the dark energy density)
pDE = wρDE
• Likewise current amplitude of structure, e.g. local clusterabundance, tests the smooth dark energy paradigm

• Where φ depends nonlinearly on matter sources
• Nonlinearity in Field: chameleon/symmetron Field gradients: kinetic screening Field second derivatives: Vainshtein/galileon• No superposition principle: structure must be simulated numerically with N-body simulations
