Mechanism

Avrami crystallisation profile of the tie field gives a peak in lensing-to-dynamical mass ratio at the redshift where P passes through P_0. For canonical parameters this places the peak at z ~ 1.5, peak amplitude 1.30.

Derivation

Avrami crystallisation profile of the tie field gives a peak in lensing-to-dynamical mass ratio at the redshift where P passes through P_0. For canonical parameters this places the peak at z ~ 1.5, peak amplitude 1.30.

The closed-form prediction is

$$ \text{predicted} = Peak 1.30 at z ~ 1.5 $$

against the measurement Awaiting Euclid 2027–2029, giving residual open.

Python verification

The verification script for this observable is astrophysical_tests.py. Run it with python3 astrophysical_tests.py to reproduce the canonical DCT result against the public-archive measurement source listed above (Walmsley et al. 2025 Euclid Q1 (first-look); Euclid DR1 2027–2029 decisive.).
