Abstract

Recently, a new wave of full modeling analyses have emerged within the Large-Scale Structure community, leading mostly to tighter constraints on the estimation of cosmological parameters, when compared with standard approaches used over the last decade by collaboration analyses of stage III experiments. However, the majority of these full-shape analyses have primarily been conducted in Fourier space, with limited emphasis on exploring the configuration space. Investigating n-point correlations in configuration space demands a higher computational cost compared to Fourier space because it typically requires an additional integration step. This can pose a limitation when using these approaches, especially when considering higher-order statistics. One avenue to mitigate the high computation time is to take advantage of neural network acceleration techniques. In this work, we present a full shape analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey III/BOSS in configuration space using a neural network accelerator. We show that the efficacy of the pipeline is enhanced by a time factor 10310^{3} without sacrificing precision, making it possible to reduce the error associated with the surrogate modeling to below 10210^{-2} percent which is compatible with the precision required for current stage IV experiments such as DESI. We find Ωm=0.286±0.009\Omega_m=0.286\pm 0.009, H0=68.8±1.2H_0=68.8\pm 1.2 kms1Mpc1\mathrm{km} \mathrm{s^{-1}}\mathrm{Mpc^{-1}} and As×109=2.090.29+0.25A_s \times 10^9 =2.09 ^{+0.25}_{-0.29}. Our results on public BOSS data are in good agreement with BOSS official results and compatible with other independent full modeling analyses. We explore relaxing the prior on ωb\omega_b and varying nsn_s, without significant changes in the mean values of the cosmological parameters posterior distributions, but enlarging their widths. Finally, we explore the information content of the multipoles when constraining cosmological parameters.
