Lensing efficiency (Hu 1999) Equivalently: g i (z l ) = z l n i (z s ) D l D ls / D s dz s i.e. g is just the weighted D l D ls / D s

Slide 13

Can you sketch g 1 (z) and g 2 (z)? (Hu 1999) g i (z) = z s n i (z s ) D l D ls / D s dz s

Slide 19

(Hu 1999) Why is g for bin 2 higher? A. More structure along line of sight B. Distances are larger g i (z d ) = z s 1 n i (z s ) D d D ds / D s dz s

Lensing power spectrum (Hu 1999)

Slide 23

Lensing power spectrum Equivalently: P ii (l) = g i (z l ) 2 P(l/D l,z) dD l /D l 2 i.e. matter power spectrum at each z, weighted by square of lensing efficiency (Hu 1999)
