THE HALO MODEL - A TUTORIAL

John Peacock
University of Edinburgh

In 2000, several authors proposed that it would be interesting to think of
the cosmological density field as a superposition of virialized dark matter
haloes. This model is easily generalized to allow for galaxy bias and
allows an understanding of galaxy clustering that is intuitive but also
numerically accurate.

This talk will work through the details of the model from the point of view
of Peacock & Smith (2000): MNRAS 318, 1144 or astro-ph/0005010. The style
will be "chalk & talk" - no pretty pictures.
