Quintessence-the Dark Energy in the Universe?
arXiv:astro-ph/0110211 · doi:10.1023/A:1015878430289
Abstract
Quintessence - the energy density of a slowly evolving scalar field - may constitute a dynamical form of the homogeneous dark energy in the universe. We review the basic idea and indicate observational tests which may distinguish quintessence from a cosmological constant.
