Abstract

A probability of distinguishing between Λ\LambdaCDM model and modified gravity is studied by using the future observations for the growth rate of cosmic structure (Euclid redshift survey). Adopting extended DGP model, Kinetic Gravity Braiding model, and Galileon model as modified gravity, we compare predicted cosmic growth rate by models to the mock observational data. The growth rate fσ8f\sigma_8 in the original DGP model is suppressed compared with the Λ\LambdaCDM case, for the same value of the current density parameter of matter Ωm,0\Omega_{m,0}, because of the suppression of effective gravitational constant. In case of the kinetic gravity braiding model and the Galileon model, the growth rate fσ8f\sigma_8 is enhanced compared with the Λ\LambdaCDM case, for the same value of Ωm,0\Omega_{m,0}, because of the enhancement of effective gravitational constant. For future observational data of the cosmic growth rate (Euclid), compatible value of Ωm,0\Omega_{m,0} are different by models, furthermore Ωm,0\Omega_{m,0} can be stringently constrained. Thus, we find the Λ\LambdaCDM model is distinguishable from modified gravity by combining the growth rate data of the Euclid with other observations.
