Abstract

Former analyses of the BOSS data using the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS) have measured that the largest counterterms are the redshift-space distortion ones. This allows us to adjust the power-counting rules of the theory, and to explicitly identify that the leading next-order terms have a specific dependence on the cosine of the angle between the line-of-sight and the wavenumber of the observable, μ. Such a specific μ-dependence allows us to construct a linear combination of the data multipoles, P̸, where these contributions are effectively projected out, so that EFTofLSS predictions for P̸ have a much smaller theoretical error and so a much higher k-reach. The remaining data are organized in wedges in μ space, have a μ-dependent k-reach because they are not equally affected by the leading next-order contributions, and therefore can have a higher k-reach than the multipoles. Furthermore, by explicitly including the highest next-order terms, we define a `one-loop+' procedure, where the wedges have even higher k-reach. We study the effectiveness of these two procedures on several sets of simulations and on the BOSS data. The resulting analysis has identical computational cost as the multipole-based one, but leads to an improvement on the determination of some of the cosmological parameters that ranges from 10% to 100%, depending on the survey properties.
