Raise Exception for high masses #1

Closed DoddyPhysics closed 7 years ago

DoddyPhysics commented 7 years ago

We should add a warning to appear if you choose m\gtrsim 1e-15 eV.

Because we demand H(ti)>>m then for m\gtrsim 1e-15 eV this implies H>H{BBN} and there will be issues with entropy production from the changes in numbers of relativistic species that will affect the relic abundance and are not included in CAMB.

"Warning: you have chosen a high axion mass. Entropy production is not included, and may affect the relic abundance calculation."

I've pushed a warning to the inidriver about this in the latest version.
