General Requirements on Matter Power Spectrum Predictions for Cosmology with Weak Lensing Tomography

Hearin, Andrew P., Zentner, Andrew R., Ma, Zhaoming

Understand

Forthcoming projects such as DES, LSST, WFIRST, and Euclid aim to measure weak lensing shear correlations with unprecedented precision, constraining the dark energy equation of state at the percent level.

Reliance on photometrically-determined redshifts constitutes a major source of uncertainty for these surveys.
Additionally, interpreting the weak lensing signal requires a detailed understanding of the nonlinear physics of gravitational collapse.
We present a new analysis of the stringent calibration requirements for weak lensing analyses of future imaging surveys that addresses both photo-z uncertainty and errors in the calibration of the matter power spectrum.
