Description

The observational data on the large scale structure (LSS) of the Universe are used to determine cosmological parameters within the class of adiabatic inflationary models. We show that a mixed dark matter model with cosmological constant ($Λ$MDM model) and parameters $Ω_m=0.37^{+0.25}_{-0.15}$, $Ω_Λ=0.69^{+0.15}_{-0.20}$, $Ω_ν=0.03^{+0.07}_{-0.03}$, $N_ν=1$, $Ω_b=0.037^{+0.033}_{-0.018}$, $n_s=1.02^{+0.09}_{-0.10}$, $h=0.71^{+0.22}_{-0.19}$, $b_{cl}=2.4^{+0.7}_{-0.7}$ (1$σ$ confidence limits) matches observational data on LSS, the nucleosynthesis constraint, direct measurements of the Hubble constant, the high redshift supernova type Ia results and the recent measurements of the location and amplitude of the first acoustic peak in the CMB anisotropy power spectrum. The best model is $Λ$ dominated (65% of the total energy density) and has slightly positive curvature, $Ω=1.06$. The clustered matter consists in 8% massive neutrinos, 10% baryons and 82% cold dark matter (CDM). It is shown that the LSS observations together with the Boomerang (+MAXIMA-1) data on the first acoustic peak rule out zero-$Λ$ models at more than $2σ$ confidence level.
