Abstract
Extraction of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) to percent levelaccuracy is challenging and demands an understanding of many potentialsystematic to an accuracy well below 1 per cent, in order ensure thatthey do not combine significantly when compared to statistical error ofthe BAO measurement.
