We analyse this data set in Fourierspace, using the power-spectrum multipoles to measure redshift-spacedistortions simultaneously with the Alcock-Paczynski effect and thebaryon acoustic oscillation scale. We include the power-spectrummonopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole in our analysis and compare ourmeasurements with a perturbation-theory-based model, while properlyaccounting for the survey window function. To evaluate the reliabilityof our analysis pipeline, we participate in a mock challenge, whichresults in systematic uncertainties significantly smaller than thestatistical uncertainties. While the high-redshift constraint onfσ8 at zeff = 0.61 indicates a small(\~{}1.4σ) deviation from the prediction of the PlanckΛCDM (Λ cold dark matter) model, the low-redshiftconstraint is in good agreement with Planck ΛCDM. This paper ispart of a set that analyses the final galaxy clustering data set fromBOSS. The measurements and likelihoods presented here are combined withothers in Alam et al. to produce the final cosmological constraints fromBOSS.}, keywords = {gravitation; surveys; cosmological parameters; cosmology: observations; dark energy; large-scale structure of Universe}, isbn = {0035-8711}, url = {http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017MNRAS.466.2242B}, author = {Beutler, Florian and Seo, Hee-Jong and Saito, Shun and Chuang, Chia-Hsun and Antonio J.
