We detect the peak of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the two-point correlation function of a spectroscopic sample of $25226$ clusters selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Galaxy clusters, as tracers of massive dark matter haloes, are hi
ghly biased structures. The linear bias $b$ of the sample considered in this work, that we estimate from the projected correlation function, is $b sigma_8 = 1.72 pm 0.03$. Thanks to the high signal in the cluster correlation function and to the accurate spectroscopic redshift measurements, we can clearly detect the BAO peak and determine its position, $s_p$, with high accuracy, despite the relative paucity of the sample. Our measurement, $s_p = 104 pm 7 , mathrm{Mpc} , h^{-1}$, is in good agreement with previous estimates from large galaxy surveys, and has a similar uncertainty. The BAO measurement presented in this work thus provides a new strong confirmation of the concordance cosmological model and demonstrates the power and promise of galaxy clusters as key probes for cosmological applications based on large scale structures.
