Looking for an extra dimension with tomographic cosmic shear
arXiv:astro-ph/0407489 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.71.024026
Abstract
The cosmic acceleration was discovered in one of the brane-based models. We are interested in discriminating this model from the dark energy by tomographic cosmic shear. Growth factors are different in the two models when one adjusts parameters to get nearly identical H(z). The two models could be distinguished with independent determinations of both geometrical factors and the growth factor. We introduce new parameterizations to separate the influence of geometry and the influence of growth on cosmic shear maps. We find that future observations will be able to distinguish between both models.
