Weak gravitational lensing provides a unique method to directly map the dark matter in the universe and measure cosmological parameters. Current weak lensing surveys are limited by the atmospheric seeing from the ground and by the small…

We analyze the weak lensing data of the VIRMOS imaging survey using projections (called E and B-modes) of the two independents observed correlation functions. The E-mode contains all the lensing signal, while noise and systematics…
