Abstract

The Tianlai experiment is dedicated to the observation of large scale structures (LSS) by the 21 cm intensity mapping technique. In this paper we make forecasts on its capability at observing or constraining the dark energy parameters and the primordial non-Gaussianity. From the LSS data one can use the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and the growth rate derived from the redshift space distortion (RSD) to measure the dark energy density and equation of state. The primordial non-Gaussianity can be constrained either by looking for scale-dependent bias in the power spectrum, or by using the bispectrum. Here we consider three cases: the Tianlai cylinder array pathfinder which is currently being built, an upgrade of the pathfinder array with more receiver units, and the full-scale Tianlai cylinder array. Using the full-scale Tianlai experiment, we expect and from the BAO and RSD measurements, from the power spectrum measurements with scale-dependent bias, and and from the bispectrum measurements.
