  5. Collapse of a perturbation

  6. Rms mass fluctuations

  7. Press – Schechter • Press-Schechter theory: The fraction of mass in collapsed objects more massive than M is related to the fraction of the volume in which the smoothed initial density field is above some density threshold.

  8. Press - Schechter Probability of having a value between δ and δ+dδ Fraction of mass in collapsed objects:

  9. Halo mass function Press-Schechter 1974

  10. PS prediction PS gives a good prediction of the mass function but there are problems Does not take into account accretion of subhaloes in the non-linear stages PS argued multiplication by a factor 2 to compensate Works reasonably well, see fig

  11. Halo bias – peaks within peaks • PS picture also does not take into account the preferential formation of matter peaks within large scale fluctuations

  12. Halo bias
