The CDM growth rate of structure revisited

Abstract: We re-examine the growth index of the concordance Lambda cosmology in the light of the latest 6dF and {em WiggleZ} data. In particular, we investigate five different models for the growth index gamma, by comparing their cosmological evolution using observational data of the growth rate of structure formation at different redshifts. Performing a joint likelihood analysis of the recent supernovae type Ia data, the Cosmic Microwave Background shift parameter, Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations and the growth rate data, we determine the free parameters of the gamma(z) parametrizations and we statistically quantify their ability to represent the observations. We find that the addition of the 6dF and {em WiggleZ} growth data in the likelihood analysis improves significantly the statistical results. As an example, considering a constant growth index we find Omegam0=0.273pm0.011 and gamma=0.5860.074+0.079.
