DEPRECATED: You should use the module cosmosis-standard-library/structure/projection_ppf/project_2d_ppf.py instead. This variant of the wl_spectra module includes modified gravity via the phenomenological D(k,z) which modifies the lensing kernel. Compare equations 33 and 34 of http://arxiv.org/pdf/1109.4583v3.pdf Intrinsic alignments under modified gravity are not correctly supported; please use intrinsic_alignments=F

The Limber approximation integrates a 3D power spectrum over the radial direction to get a 2D angular power spectrum. It is an approximation which is only valid on smaller scales. \(C_\ell = A \int_0^{\chi_1} W_1(\chi) W_2(\chi) P(k=l/\chi, z(\chi)) / \chi^2 d\chi\)

The full integral must integrate over k(ell) also. For weak lensing, the power spectrum is the matter power spectrum and the two kernel functions W depend on the redshift bins being used and the geometry. Parts of this code and the underlying implementation of limber are based on cosmocalc: https://bitbucket.org/beckermr/cosmocalc-public

Assumptions

  • The Limber integral is valid on the scales in question
