Important note: please see https://github.com/ACTCollaboration/ACT-DR6-parameters/blob/main/theories/camb.yaml for the default CAMB settings required for this likelihood to reproduce the published result. This also requires the use of the CosmoRec recombination module which is not supplied by default in CAMB. This repo also specifies default priors for the likelihood, including the tau prior which should be used if no large scale CMB polarisation data (e.g. from Planck SRoll2) is included.
This is the lite or CMB-only likelihood from the ACT DR6 data release. This marglinalises all foreground and calibration parameters for ACT DR6 CMB TT TE and EE spectra into a single overall calibration parameter and a single polarisation efficiency parameter. For Lambda-CDM (and Lambda-CDM ONLY) this has been shown to reproduce results from the full multi-frequency likelihood to within signficantly less than 0.1sigma. What is supplied here is only the CosmoSIS interface to the official Cobaya likelihood. This should be obtainable through installing the Cobaya likelihood from the provided github repository. The required data can be downloaded with the provided shell script.
