Divergence in matter power spectrum P(k) in IDM scenario toward high k #525

Open WorkerXYZ opened 1 year ago

Dear all, I found a strange behaviour of matter power spectrum in interacting dark matter (IDM) scenario. When the interacting coefficient a_dark is high enough, the P(k) I got just exceeds that of CDM when k is greater than tens of Mpc^-1, as shown below (blue and purple lines). Pk Actually, I'm trying to reproduce the results in Figure 1 in 1712.03976, and I'm not sure what’s going wrong. FYI, the parameters I have changed from CDM is as follows: f_idm = 1 m_idm = 1e9 xi_idr =0.5 stat_f_idr = 1 a_idm_dr = 0 / 1e2 / 1e3 / 4e5 / 6e4 / 1e6 nindex_idm_dr = 4
