AbstractWe present the first measurement of the growth rate of structure at z=0.8. It has been obtained from the redshift-space distortions observed in the galaxy clustering pattern in the VIMOS Public Redshift survey (VIPERS) first data release. VIPERS is a large galaxy redshift survey probing the large-scale structure at 0.5 < z < 1.2 with an unprecedented accuracy. This measurement represents a new reference in the distant Universe, which has been poorly explored until now. We obtain σ8 = 0.47 ± 0.08 at z = 0.8 that is consistent with the predictions of standard cosmological models based on Einstein gravity. This measurement alone is however not accurate enough to allow the detection of possible deviations from standard gravity.

ABSTRACT We show that correlations between the phases of the galaxy density field in redshift space provide additional information about the growth rate of large-scale structure that is complementary to the power-spectrum multipoles. In particular, we consider the multipoles of the line correlation function (LCF), which correlates phases between three collinear points, and use the Fisher forecasting method to show that the LCF multipoles can break the degeneracy between the measurement of the growth rate of structure f and the amplitude of perturbations σ8 that is present in the power-spectrum multipoles at large scales. This leads to an improvement in the measurement of f and σ8 by up to 220 per cent for $k_{\rm max} = 0.15 \, h\, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ and up to 50 per cent for $k_{\rm max} = 0.30 \, h\, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ at redshift z = 0.25, with respect to power-spectrum measurements alone for the upcoming generation of galaxy surveys like DESI and Euclid. The average improvements in the constraints on f and σ8 for $k_{\rm max} = 0.15 \, h\, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ are ∼90 per cent for the DESI BGS sample with mean redshift $\overline{z}=0.25$, ∼40 per cent for the DESI ELG sample with $\overline{z}=1.25$, and ∼40 per cent for the Euclid Hα galaxies with $\overline{z}=1.3$. For $k_{\rm max} = 0.30 \, h\, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, the average improvements are ∼40 per cent for the DESI BGS sample and ∼20 per cent for both the DESI ELG and Euclid Hα galaxies.

Fundamental to our understanding of the universe is the evolution of structures, from galaxies to clusters of galaxies to large-scale sheets and filaments of galaxies and voids. The investigation of the evolution of large-scale structure not only provides us with the key test of theories of structure formation, but also allows us to measure fundamental cosmological parameters. The CNOC2 (Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology) Field Galaxy Redshift Survey is the first large redshift survey of faint galaxies carried out with the explicit goal of investigating the evolution of large scale structure. This survey also provides the largest redshift and photometric data set currently available for the study of galaxy population and evolution at the moderate redshift range between 0.1 and 0.6. In this paper we describe the scope and technique of the survey, its status, and some preliminary results.
