Coupling dark-baryonic matter density profile for vacuum decay scenarios

Abstract

The cosmological consequences of an interacting model in which vacuum decay law is deducted from the effect that vacuum decay has on the dark matter evolution are investigated. Here, the baryonic matter is also considered as a fluid gravitationally coupled with dark matter. It is made a careful analysis to constrain this model with the observational data of growth rate of cosmic structures. The theoretical growth rate is followed since the primordial recombination and the main physical processes on the baryonic component are considered. As a complementary constraint, this model is compared with the observed CMB-BAO ratio as well with the gas mass fraction of cluster of galaxies. We found the best fit values for dark matter Ωd0=0.2690.023+0.023\Omega_{d0} = 0.269 ^{+0.023}_{-0.023} and for the decay parameter ϵ=0.020.05+0.04\epsilon = 0.02 ^{+0.04}_{-0.05}.
