Testing Standard Cosmology with Large Scale Structure

Stril, Arthur, Cahn, Robert N., Linder, Eric V.

Understand

The galaxy power spectrum contains information on the growth of structure, the growth rate through redshift space distortions, and the cosmic expansion through baryon acoustic oscillation features.

We study the ability of two proposed experiments, BigBOSS and JDEM-PS, to test the cosmological model and general relativity.
We quantify the latter result in terms of the gravitational growth index \gamma, whose value in general relativity is \gamma\approx 0.55.
Significant deviations from this value could indicate new physics beyond the standard model of cosmology.
