Do dark matter halos explain lensing peaks?

JM Zorrilla Matilla, Z Haiman, D Hsu, A Gupta, A Petri - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We have investigated a recently proposed halo-based model, Camelus, for predicting weak-
lensing peak counts, and compared its results over a collection of 162 cosmologies with …

Discovering the building blocks of dark matter halo density profiles with neural networks

L Lucie-Smith, HV Peiris, A Pontzen, B Nord… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The density profiles of dark matter halos are typically modeled using empirical formulas fitted
