MOCKS

${DESI_ROOT}/survey/catalogs/RELEASE/MOCKS host the LSS mock catalogs used to validate the analysis and to estimate covariance matrices for both dark and bright tracers.

More details can be found in DESI 2024 II (2025)

• EZmock : 1000 realizations at low resolution to estimate covariance matrices
• AbacusSummit : 25 realizations of n-body simulations at high resolution for validation, separated by dark and bright programmes, followed by the internal version
