Unveiling dark forces with measurements of the Large Scale Structure of the Universe

The study investigates constraints on long-range dark forces acting in the dark sector by measuring their effects on the Large Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe using Planck and BOSS data. By modeling how these forces modify matter growth, researchers found that including galaxy power spectrum data significantly tightens current bounds, leading to a forecast that future surveys could improve constraints by an order of magnitude.
