The gravitational distortion of light from distant galaxy images is a tremendous resource for cosmology, with the potential to reveal valuable information on Dark Energy and Dark Matter, and to test the theory of gravity, being able in principle to detect the presence of extra dimensions. In order to exploit the physical effect of weak gravitational lensing, the analysis of image catalogues has to be very highly optimised, to extract as much information as possible on the subtle differences between …
