[1]. We use a set of LCDM simulations to calibrate the fitting parameters in the k-range of 0.03 h/Mpc ≤ k ≤ 0.4 h/Mpc and in the redshift range of 0 ≤ z ≤ 1.5. This new proposed fit describes well the BAO-features although it was not designed to. The deviation between the simulations output and our analytic prediction is typically less than 5% and in the worst case is never above 10%. We envision that this new analytic fitting formula will be very useful in providing reliable predictions for the non-linear dark matter bispectrum for LCDM models.17 p.application/pdfeng(c) IOP Publishing and Sissa Medialab, 2012CosmologiaMatèria fosca (Astronomia)GalàxiesCosmologyDark matter (Astronomy)GalaxiesAn improved fitting formula for the dark matter bispectruminfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6060992019-01-23info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
