Trouble understanding the matter power spectrum of lognormal mocks

[hganjoo]

I'm trying to create a lognormal mock using a linear power spectrum made using the Eisenstein-Hu fitting functions. When I compute the power spectrum of the matter field, does that yield P_linear(k) or b_1^2 P_linear(k)? (b_1 is the bias parameter for the lognormal field transformation)

I saw the lognormal transformation in the source code, but I'm unable to figure out how the power spectrum transforms to get a factor of b_1^2.

Hi, I know it has been a while but I was wondering if you ever found an answer to this. The power spectrum of the galaxy mocks yields b_1^2 Plin(k) but I also don't see how this works in the source code.
