CFHTLS scientific drivers in Cosmology
• Formation and evolution of galaxies
• SN survey
• Weak Lensing (Mellier et coll. 2000) - recover the shape and amplitude of the power spectrum
- obtain cosmological parameters with a better accuracy (Jain, Berstein & Dolney astro-ph 0502243)
- test gravity on large scales (Bernardeau 2005 )
• Strong Lensing (Fort et coll. 2005) cosmological tests, by comparing
observations with simulations (many ref in Alcaniz et al 2005, astro-ph/0501026).
• number, ellipticity, profile, mass evolution of individual halos (cf CfA-Arizona-ST-Lens-Survey Falco et al 1999).
• Singly highly magnified sources ( > 3)

10 times more giant arcs in CFHTLS than first CDM predictions (Bartelmann et al. 98) .
X-section depends on DM profile and geometry ellipticity, tri-axiality, source sizes, external shear,
merging (varying caustic length), central stellar mass,..(cf. Bartelmann et al 95, 02, et al., Oguri 02, Guo-Liang Li et al. 03,
Dalal et al. 04, Wambsgans et al. 03, Menegghetti et al. 04)

properly for any peculiar statistical study

11.000 spectra are already available and candidates are there ( O. Le Fevre, 2005) !
The CFHTL spectroscopic survey (40 000 spectra)should give more candidates than the total number of known multiple QSOs!

Searching arcs around galaxies
(GOODS: r = 0.1 arcsec, 0.3 arcsec < RE < 3 arcsec)
is equivalent to search arcs around groups

Constraints
• Define a clear selection criteria for each lensing event (giant arcs: length, magnification, limiting surface brightness, zs,..).
• Most parameters depend on observational factors!
• Evaluate observational biases (completude, false detections..)
![Page 27: Bernard Fort (IAP) CoI: Olivier Le Fevre & Jean-Paul Kneib (Marseille) Mireille Dantel-Fort (Obs. de Paris) Christophe Alard, Yannick Mellier & Jean-François](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bffb1a28abf838cc12b8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Working plan (2005-2007)
- define and test best algorithms for the automatic
search procedure on CFHTLS
- Test the robustness of the automatic detection:
number of possible missing events, false alarms
- Prepare the statistical lensing analysis
![Page 28: Bernard Fort (IAP) CoI: Olivier Le Fevre & Jean-Paul Kneib (Marseille) Mireille Dantel-Fort (Obs. de Paris) Christophe Alard, Yannick Mellier & Jean-François](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bffb1a28abf838cc12b8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Immediate scientific targets
. Detect and model lens systems from groups
. Study new lens configuration (multi-plan lenses,dark lenses, ..)
. Find new arclets sytems in cluster lenses . Study the singly highly magnified
population of drop-out galaxies

Conclusions
- It seems quite possible to develop an automatic search of lensing events with five colors per field.
- the methodology is tractable but the definition of clear selection criteria and the evaluation of systematic bias will be a real challenge.
