What is The New Horizon Run Cosmological N-Body Simulations about?

We present two large cosmological N-body simulations, called Horizon Run 2 (HR2) and Horizon Run 3 (HR3), made using 6000^3 = 216 billions and 7210^3 = 374 billion particles, spanning a volume of (7.200 Gpc/h)^3 and (10.815 Gpc/h)^3, respectively. These simulations improve on our previous Horizon Run 1 (HR1) up to a factor of 4.4 in volume, and range from 2600 to over 8800 times the volume of the Millennium Run. In addition, they achieve a considerably finer mass resolution, down to 1.25x10^11 M_sun/h, allowing to resolve galaxy-size halos with mean particle separations of 1.2 Mpc/h and 1.5 Mpc/h, respectively. We have measured the power spectrum, correlation function, mass function and basic halo properties with percent level accuracy, and verified that they correctly reproduce the LCDM theoretical expectations, in excellent agreement with linear perturbation theory. Our unprecedentedly large-volume N-body simulations can be used for a variety of studies in cosmology and astrophysics, ranging from large-scale structure topology, baryon acoustic oscillations, dark energy and the characterization of the expansion history of the Universe, till galaxy formation science - in connection
