Accurate knowledge of the non-linear dark-matter power spectrum is important for understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe, the statistics of dark-matter haloes and their evolution, and cosmological gravitational lensing. We analytically model the dark-matter power spectrum and its cross-power spectrum with dark-matter haloes. Our model extends the halo-model formalism, including realistic substructure population within individual dark-matter haloes and the scatter of the concentration parameter at fixed halo mass. We consider three prescriptions for the mass-concentration relation and two for the substructure distribution in dark-matter haloes. We show that this extension of the halo model mainly increases the predicted power on the small scales, and is crucial for proper modeling the cosmological weak-lensing signal due to low-mass haloes. Our extended formalism shows how the halo model approach can be improved in accuracy as one increases the number of ingredients that are calibrated from n-body simulations.
