ABSTRACT We analytically model the non-linear effects induced by massive neutrinos on the total matter power spectrum using the halo model reaction framework of Cataneo et al. In this approach, the halo model is used to determine the relative change to the matter power spectrum caused by new physics beyond the concordance cosmology. Using standard fitting functions for the halo abundance and the halo mass–concentration relation, the total matter power spectrum in the presence of massive neutrinos is predicted to per cent-level accuracy, out to $k=10 \,{ h}\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. We find that refining the prescriptions for the halo properties using N-body simulations improves the recovered accuracy to better than 1 per cent. This paper serves as another demonstration for how the halo model reaction framework, in combination with a single suite of standard Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) simulations, can recover per cent-level accurate predictions for beyond ΛCDM matter power spectra, well into the non-linear regime.

Anomalous Growth

f(R) gravity provides viable cosmology alternative to the ΛCDM model. We discuss the effect of massive neutrinos on matter power spectrum in this theory, to show that the anomalous growth of density fluctuations on small scales due to the scalaron force can be compensated by free streaming of neutrinos. As a result, models which predict observable deviation of the equation-of-state parameter w DE from w DE = -1 may be reconciled with observations of matter clustering if the total neutrino mass is O(0.5 eV ).

Anomalous Growth

We have investigated the evolution of a homogeneous isotropic background of the Universe and inhomogeneous subhorizon matter density perturbations in viable f(R) models of present dark energy and cosmic acceleration analytically and numerically. It is found that viable f(R) models generically exhibit recent crossing of the phantom boundary w DE = -1. Furthermore, it is shown that the growth index of perturbations depends both on time and wavenumber. This anomalous growth may explain properties of the observational matter power spectrum from the SDSS data and can also partially counteract the spectrum suppression by massive neutrinos making larger values of the total sum of neutrino rest-masses possible.

On The Road

ABSTRACT We introduce an emulator approach to predict the non-linear matter power spectrum for broad classes of beyond-ΛCDM cosmologies, using only a suite of ΛCDM N-body simulations. By including a range of suitably modified initial conditions in the simulations, and rescaling the resulting emulator predictions with analytical ‘halo model reactions’, accurate non-linear matter power spectra for general extensions to the standard ΛCDM model can be calculated. We optimize the emulator design by substituting the simulation suite with non-linear predictions from the standard halofit tool. We review the performance of the emulator for artificially generated departures from the standard cosmology as well as for theoretically motivated models, such as f(R) gravity and massive neutrinos. For the majority of cosmologies we have tested, the emulator can reproduce the matter power spectrum with errors ${\lesssim}1{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ deep into the highly non-linear regime. This work demonstrates that with a well-designed suite of ΛCDM simulations, extensions to the standard cosmological model can be tested in the non-linear regime without any reliance on expensive beyond-ΛCDM simulations.
