A recent preprint introduces a novel cross-correlation statistic designed to study baryon distribution in the universe. This method analyzes Fast Radio Burst dispersion and galaxy overdensity without requiring FRB redshifts, potentially separating contributions from free electron and FRB source clustering. This could enhance cosmological inference from upcoming surveys like CHORD.
