Reconstructing baryon oscillations
read the original abstract
The baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) method for constraining the expansion history is adversely affected by non-linear structure formation, which washes out the correlation function peak created at decoupling. To increase the constraining power of low z BAO experiments, it has been proposed that one use the observed distribution of galaxies to "reconstruct'' the acoustic peak. Recently Padmanabhan, White and Cohn provided an analytic formalism for understanding how reconstruction works within the context of Lagrangian perturbation theory. We extend that formalism to include the case of biased tracers of the mass and, because the quantitative validity of LPT is questionable, we investigate reconstruction in N-body simulations. We find that LPT does a good job of explaining the trends seen in simulations for both the mass and for biased tracers and comment upon the implications this has for reconstruction.

Standard Reconstruction Shifts the Optimal Input Scale for CNN-Based Density-Field Reconstruction
Applying standard reconstruction before a CNN shifts the optimal input cube for z=10 density reconstruction from ~150-200 h^-1 Mpc to ~38-114 h^-1 Mpc, and a single post-reconstruction CNN beats dual-scale CNN inputs.
