random DLA z can not be higher than Z_QSO #14
Comments
The issue to have mock DLA with ZDLA>ZQSO is only in |
Here is the stack of the 10 cross-correlation HCDxQSO multiplied by r, we can see clearly an asymmetry between xi(rp<0) and x(rp>0), where rp is computed as a function of the relative distances of HCD and QSO with respect to us. This can be linked either to this issue, to other issues or to some bugs in picca. Of course solving this ticket is not a priority, since it has little to do with BAO from the auto and cross of Lya. |
@TEtourneau, perfect, this looks good. We need the DLA and the random DLA to be on the line of sight of a quasar, is that the case? |
Yes, it is. |
@TEtourneau, good.
Yes it is an issue, could it be a random fluctuation? by eye it does not seem possible, but did you look at more than 1 box? |
Maybe the blue distribution (mocks) can fluctuate (only 33000 DLA for this plot), but not the randoms (more than 200,000). |
@TEtourneau, I wonder if I know what is happening. |
To draw the DLA, we use the delta_l field, the one for the large scale fluctuations. Concerning the randoms, we do the exact same procedure, except that we flag all the cell within the lya forest (we don't do the delta_l > mu step). |
@TEtourneau, thank you very much for this, it is clear that it is not a statistical fluctuation indeed. |
@londumas You was right. There was still a redshift dependent correction remaining in the random treatment. There is still a small difference at the low z tail, because of the RSD. I pushed the commits in the branch correct_dla_randoms and merged the branch into the master. |
@TEtourneau, very good. THank you. |
In v4.2, random DLA redshift should not be higher than Z_QSO.
This is not important, but it should not be hard to correct.
