The fitting formula for the location of the first acoustic peak in the matter power spectrum is revised. We discuss the physics that leads to baryon acoustic oscillations: the recombination history, the tight coupling approximation and the velocity overshoot effect. A new fitting formula is proposed, which is in accordance within 5% with numerical results for a suitable range of cosmological parameters, whereas previous results yield deviations of up to 20%. The crucial improvement turns out to be the accuracy of the recombination history.

    The BAO sound-horizon scale extracted from simulated galaxy clustering differs from the standard integral definition enough to bias DESI Year-5-level cosmological constraints on Ω_m and N_eff unless corrected.
