CCAPP Seminar: "Measuring BAO in galaxy surveys" Angela Burden (Yale)

Oval
Tue, November 1, 2016
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
PRB 4138

I will give a brief introduction on how baryon acoustic oscillations measured in galaxy surveys are used to make cosmological measurements. I will then talk about the reconstruction technique used in the BOSS survey and present some of the cosmological measurements made from the final data set. Finally I will talk about the upcoming DESI survey and describe preliminary work on techniques we hope to use to ensure our BAO measurements are not biased by the instrument.
