Dark Quest. I. Fast and Accurate Emulation of Halo Clustering Statistics and Its Application to Galaxy Clustering
We perform an ensemble of -body simulations with particles for
101 flat CDM cosmological models sampled based on a maximin-distance Sliced
Latin Hypercube Design. By using the halo catalogs extracted at multiple
redshifts in the range of , we develop Dark Emulator, which enables
fast and accurate computations of the halo mass function, halo-matter
cross-correlation, and halo auto-correlation as a function of halo masses,
redshift, separations and cosmological models, based on the Principal Component
Analysis and the Gaussian Process Regression for the large-dimensional input
and output data vector. We assess the performance of the emulator using a
validation set of -body simulations that are not used in training the
emulator. We show that, for typical halos hosting CMASS galaxies in the Sloan
Digital Sky Survey, the emulator predicts the halo-matter cross correlation,
relevant for galaxy-galaxy weak lensing, with an accuracy better than and
the halo auto-correlation, relevant for galaxy clustering correlation, with an
accuracy better than . We give several demonstrations of the emulator. It
can be used to study properties of halo mass density profiles such as the
mass-concentration relation and splashback radius for different cosmologies.
The emulator outputs can be combined with an analytical prescription of
halo-galaxy connection such as the halo occupation distribution at the equation
level, instead of using the mock catalogs, to make accurate predictions of
galaxy clustering statistics such as the galaxy-galaxy weak lensing and the
projected correlation function for any model within the CDM cosmologies, in
a few CPU seconds.Comment: 46 pages, 47 figures; version accepted for publication in Ap
High energy electrons beyond 100 GEV observed by emulsion chamber
Much efforts have been expended to observe the spectrum of electrons in the high energy region with large area emulsion chambers exposed at balloon altitudes, and now 15 electrons beyond 1 TeV have been observed. The observed integral flux at 1 TeV is (3.24 + or - 0.87)x10(-5)/sq m sec sr. The statistics of the data around a few hundred GeV are also improving by using new shower detecting films of high sensitivity. The astrophysical significance of the observed spectrum are discussed for the propagation of electrons based on the leaky box and the nested leaky box model
