class camb.nonlinear.SecondOrderPK

Bases: camb.nonlinear.NonLinearModel

Third-order Newtonian perturbation theory results for the non-linear correction. Only intended for use at very high redshift (z>10) where corrections are perturbative, it will not give sensible results at low redshift.

See Appendix F of astro-ph/0702600 for equations and references.

Not intended for production use, it’s mainly to serve as an example alternative non-linear model implementation.
