Future dark energy experiments will require better and more accurate theoretical predictions for the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) signature in the spectrum of cosmological perturbations. Here, we use large N-body simulations of the…

Low redshift measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) test the late time evolution of the Universe and are a vital probe of Dark Energy. Over the past decade both the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and Sloan Digital Sky…
