We measure the mass function of dark matter halos in a large set of collisionless cosmological simulations of flat LCDM cosmology and investigate its evolution at z<~2. Halos are identified as isolated density peaks, and their masses are…

Simulation based inference has seen increasing interest in the past few years as a promising approach to model the non linear scales of galaxy clustering. The common approach using Gaussian process is to train an emulator over the…
