Abstract
- To fully exploit the data from next generation surveys, we need an accurate modelling of the matter power spectrum up to non-linear scales. Therefore in this work we present the halo model reaction framework for the Generalized Cubic Covariant Galileon (GCCG) model, a modified gravity model within the Horndeski class of theories which extends the cubic covariant Galileon (G3) by including power laws of the derivatives of the scalar field in the K-essence and cubic terms. We modify the publicly available software ReACT for the GCCG in order to obtain an accurate prediction of the non-linear power spectrum. In the limit of the G3 model we compare the modified ReACT code to $N$-body simulations and we find agreement within 5\% for a wide range of scales and redshifts. We then study the relevant effects of the modifications introduced by the GCCG on the non-linear matter power spectrum. Finally, we provide forecasts from spectroscopic and photometric primary probes by next generation surveys using a Fisher matrix method. We show that future data will be able to constrain at 1$\sigma$ the two additional parameters of the model at the percent level and that considering non-linear corrections to the matter power spectrum beyond the linear regime is crucial to obtain this result.<br />Comment: 17 pages, 7 figures, code available at https://github.com/nebblu/ACTio-ReACTio
