Cosmology offers opportunities to test dark matter independently of its interactions with the standard model. We study imprints long-range forces acting solely in sector on distribution galaxies, so-called large scale structure (LSS). derive strongest constraint such from a combination Planck and BOSS data. Along way we consistently develop, for first time, effective field theory LSS presence new dynamics sector. forecast that future surveys will improve current bound by an order magnitude.
