The Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure and Multi-tracer [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2108.11363


We study the performance of the perturbative bias expansion when combined with the multi-tracer technique, and their impact on the extraction of cosmological parameters. We consider two populations of tracers of large-scale structure and perform a series of Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis for those two tracers separately. The constraints in $\omega_{\rm cdm}$ and $h$ using multi-tracer are less biased and approximately $60\%$ better than those obtained for a single tracer. The multi-tracer approach also provides stronger constraints on the bias expansion parameters, breaking degeneracies between them and with their error being typically half of the single-tracer case. Finally, we studied the impacts caused in parameter extraction when including a correlation between the stochastic field of distinct tracers.
