Cosmological Parameter Estimation with Large Scale Structure Observations

Di Dio, Enea, Montanari, Francesco, Durrer, Ruth et al.

Understand

We estimate the sensitivity of future galaxy surveys to cosmological parameters, using the redshift dependent angular power spectra of galaxy number counts, $C_\ell(z_1,z_2)$, calculated with all relativistic corrections at first order in perturbation theory.

We pay special attention to the redshift dependence of the non-linearity scale and present Fisher matrix forecasts for Euclid-like and DES-like galaxy surveys.
We compare the standard $P(k)$ analysis with the new $C_\ell(z_1,z_2)$ method.
We show that for surveys with photometric redshifts the new analysis performs significantly better than the $P(k)$ analysis.
