Discussion: |
1)
Blind cosmology mocks
for the DC6b (summer 2010) and future DCs (winter-summer 2011).
Summary of the Tuesday lunch discussion. Plans for simulations
choice of ICs, codes, cosmological parameters. |
2) A data model for simulations to create a
database and a standard format so that we could use different
halo finder within the portal framework. We need someone that
could serve as liason between the WG and us on these matters |
