Description:
------------

We create mock catalogs using the 2.5 Gpc/h BigMultiDark
simulation. In order to study the whole redshift range of
quasars from the eBOSS first year (Y1Q) we produced two
different light-cones with the same area (1481.43 deg^2):

-> BigMDPL-QSO:  designed to reproduce the redshift range
                 0.9<z<2.2. It uses a single set of parame
		 ters for all the range.
-> BigMDPL-QSOZ: designed to include the evolution of the 
                 clustering in the whole redshift range.
		 It uses different sets of parameters to
		 reproduce the clustering in the ranges:
		     0.9<z<1.2
		     1.2<z<1.5
		     1.5<z<1.8
		     1.8<z<2.2
		     
Catalogues
----------

For both light-cone (denoted by ".dat") a corresponding 
random catalogue is included (denoted by ".ran"); however,
both random catalogues are compatible, reproducing the 
same dependency of the number density with redshift.
