Constraint on the growth factor of the cosmic structure from the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillation signature
We determine a constraint on the growth factor by measuring the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the matter power spectrum using the Sloan digital sky survey luminous red galaxy sample. We obtain an effective upper limit on ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{8}{D}_{1}(z=0.3)$ using the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillation signature, where …
