This module implements the Tidal Alignment + Tidal Torquing (TATT) model for intrinsic alignments of galaxies. It computes intrinsic alignment power spectra using perturbation theory terms calculated by FastPT.

The model includes: - Linear/Non-linear alignment (NLA) terms - Tidal alignment (TA) contributions - Tidal torquing (TT) contributions - Mixed TA-TT cross terms

The module supports several sub-models: ‘lin’, ‘nla’, ‘ta’, ‘tt’, ‘tatt’, and ‘mixed_only’.
