We extend the multi-tracer (MT) formalism of the effective field theory of large-scale structure to redshift space, comparing the results of MT to a single-tracer analysis when extracting cosmological parameters from simulations. We used a sub-halo abundance matching method to obtain more realistic multi-tracer galaxy catalogs constructed from N-body simulations. Considering different values for the sample shot noise and volume, we show that the MT error bars on As, ωcdm, and h in a full-shape analysis are approximately 50% smaller relative to ST. We find that cosmological and bias coefficients from MT are less degenerate, indicating that the MT parameter basis is more orthogonal. We conclude that using MT combined with perturbation theory is a robust and competitive way to accommodate the information present in the mildly non-linear scales.
