The matter power spectrum at comoving scales of $(1\ensuremath{-}40){h}^{\ensuremath{-}1}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{Mpc}$ is very sensitive to the presence of Warm Dark Matter (WDM) particles with large free-streaming lengths. We present constraints on the mass of WDM particles from a combined analysis of the matter power spectrum inferred from the large samples of high-resolution high signal-to-noise Lyman-$\ensuremath{\alpha}$ forest data of Kim et al. (2004) and Croft et al. (2002) and the…
