An analytic model for the epoch of halo creation

In this paper we describe the Bayesian link between the cosmological mass function and the distribution of times at which isolated halos of a given mass exist. By assuming that clumps of dark matter undergo monotonic growth on the time-scales of interest, this distribution of times is also the distr...
