Abstract:
The possibility of making distortion maps of the local mass distribution in a fairly large survey has open new means of probing the large-scale structures of the Universe. We show here that surveys of size from 25 to 100 square degrees will provide extremely precise constraints, down to 5\% accuracy, not only on the matter power spectrum but also on the cosmic density parameter $\Omega$. More precise studies involving multi-source plane analysis should even provide us with a precise joined determination of $\Omega$ and $\lambda$.
