The U-Cell Model vs DESI DR2 Baryon Acoustic Oscillations: Cross-Check with 14 Million Galaxies and the DESI-Planck Parameter Tension

Puntos clave

• The central aim is to compare the UCM cosmological model with DESI DR2 baryon acoustic oscillations to assess parameter consistency.
• Tested UCM against DESI DR2 BAO using 13 data points.
• Conducted analysis across redshift range z=0.30-2.33.
• Calculated chi-squared and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) to evaluate model fit.
• UCM model shows 2.2 sigma deviation from DESI best-fit parameter Omega_m.
• Identified tension in parameters similar to that of Planck ΛCDM model.
• BIC suggests UCM slightly favors the data compared to DESI DR2.
