High Resolution Data Analysis: Plans and Prospects [Book Chapter]

Herein, a report on the progress on the high resolution data analysis of the ADMX experimental results is presented. In this paper, tools are developed and tested on a blind injection mimicking a Maxwellian like signal in the frequency domain. This blind injection will be used as a test bed which can be later implemented on all the high resolution data. The high resolution data is stored in the Fermilab server. In this analysis a PostgreSQL query was made to ensure the blind injection is in the middle of the frequency spectrum and 19 such files were found. The time series data is read using a c++ program. An apodization function is applied on the time series data and zero filled to reduce the frequency spacing in order to achieve a better interpolation. A FFTW header is used to compute the Fourier transform of the time series data. A Savitzky–Golay filter is applied on the unnormalized power which then can be used to remove the spectral shape. Each frequency spectrum has a bandwidth of 50 kHz.

Harmonic analysis of discrete tracers of large-scale structure

It is commonplace in cosmology to analyze fields projected onto the celestial sphere, and in particular density fields that are defined by a set of points e.g. galaxies. When performing an harmonic-space analysis of such data (e.g. an angular power spectrum) using a pixelized map one has to deal with aliasing of small-scale power and pixel window functions. We compare and contrast the approaches to this problem taken in the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure communities, and advocate for a direct approach that avoids pixelization. We describe a method for performing a pseudo-spectrum analysis of a galaxy data set and show that it can be implemented efficiently using well-known algorithms for special functions that are suited to acceleration by graphics processing units (GPUs). The method returns the same spectra as the more traditional map-based approach if in the latter the number of pixels is taken to be sufficiently large and the mask is well sampled. The method is readily generalizable to cross-spectra and higher-order functions. It also provides a convenient route for distributing the information in a galaxy catalog directly in harmonic space, as a complement to releasing the configuration-space positions and weights, and a route to spectral apodization. Finally, we make public a code enabling the application of our method to existing and upcoming datasets.
