The paper determines the merger rates of dark matter haloes as a function of halo mass, merger mass ratio, and redshift.

This is highly influential in astrophysics for understanding how galaxies and large-scale structures formed and grew in the universe! The Massively Accreting Cluster A2029 - OSTI.GOV 13075x

The authors found that the merger rate per unit redshift is nearly universal and independent of redshift, scaling simply with halo mass and mass ratio. The paper determines the merger rates of dark
