Description
It is now confirmed by different cosmological observations that our current Universe is going through an accelerated expanding phase. Explaining this late time acceleration is a challenge to cosmologists. In this talk I shall review the different approaches to explaining this late time acceleration, with particular emphasis on scalar field models. I shall also talk on the possibilities of distinguishing between different dark energy models with available observational data.
