BAO simulation data
You can find simulation data from some of our BAO projects at this website.
A pedagogical introduction to baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) can be found here, some lectures given at the 2007 Santa Fe cosmology workshop can be found here and some lectures given at the 2008 IUCCA cosmology workshop can be found here
