CMB lensing and Ly⁢𝛼 forest cross bispectrum from DESI’s first-year quasar sample


Abstract The squeezed cross-bispectrum 𝐵𝜅,Ly⁢𝛼 between the gravitational lensing in the cosmic microwave background and the 1D Ly⁢𝛼 forest power spectrum can constrain bias parameters and break degeneracies between 𝜎8 and other cosmological parameters. We detect 𝐵𝜅,Ly⁢𝛼 with 4.8⁢𝜎 significance at an effective redshift 𝑧eff =2.4 using Planck PR3 lensing map and over 280,000 quasar spectra from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument’s first-year data. We test our measurement against metal contamination and foregrounds such as Galactic extinction and clusters of galaxies by deprojecting the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. We compare our results to a tree-level perturbation theory calculation and find reasonable agreement between the model and measurement.
