Determination of the linear mass power spectrum from the mass function of galaxy clusters
We develop a new method to determine the linear mass power spectrum using the mass function of galaxy clusters. We obtain the rms mass fluctuation σ(M) using the expression for the mass function in the Press & Schechter (1974), Sheth, Mo & Tormen (2001) & Jenkins et al. (2001) formalisms. We apply different techniques to recover the adimensional power spectrum ∆(k) from σ(M) namely the keff app...
متن کاملN-body simulations with generic non-Gaussian initial conditions I: Power Spectrum and halo mass function
We address the issue of setting up generic non-Gaussian initial conditions for N-body simulations. We consider inflationary-motivated primordial nonGaussianity where the perturbations in the Bardeen potential are given by a dominant Gaussian part plus a non-Gaussian part specified by its bispectrum. The approach we explore here is suitable for any bispectrum, i.e. it does not have to be of the ...
متن کاملCosmic Momentum Field and Mass Fluctuation Power Spectrum
We introduce the cosmic momentum field as a new measure of the large-scale peculiar velocity and matter fluctuation fields. The momentum field is defined as the peculiar velocity field traced and weighted by galaxies, and is equal to the velocity field in the linear regime. We show that the radial component of the momentum field can be considered as a scalar field with the power spectrum which ...
متن کاملMass Generation for an Ultralight Axion
If a global chiral symmetry is explicitly broken by anomalies in nonabelian gauge theories, a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (axion) associated with a spontaneous breakdown of such a global symmetry acquires a mass through nonperturbative instanton effects. We calculate the axion mass assuming a supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory and show that the axion obtains an extremely small mass when the SU(...
متن کاملThe Mass of the Heavy Axion
If electroweak dynamical symmetry breaking is due to a chiral condensate of color sextet quarks, dynamics analagous to “walking technicolor” will enhance the condensate by orders of magnitude compared to the electroweak chiral scale. This enhancement compensates for the exponential suppression of electroweak scale color instanton interactions. As a result the η6 axion can naturally aquire an el...
