Scientific paper
Model-independent parametrisations of modified gravity have attracted a lot of attention over the past few years; numerous combinations of experiments and observables have been suggested to constrain these parameterisations, and future surveys look very promising. Galaxy Clusters have been mentioned, but not looked at as extensively in the literature as some other probes. Here we look at adding Galaxy Clusters into the mix of observables and examine whether they could improve the constraints on the modified gravity parameters. In particular, we forecast the constraints from combining the Planck CMB spectrum and SZ cluster catalogue and a DES-like Weak Lensing survey. We've found that adding cluster counts improves the constraints obtained from combining CMB and WL data.
