(a) Value of ﹩b/ r﹩ as a function of angular scale under the assumption ﹩\Omega _{m}=0.3﹩ and ﹩\Omega _{\Lambda }=0.7﹩. These results are based on RCS data only, which allows this ratio to measured out to 1° (which corresponds to a physical scale of ﹩12.5\, h^{-1}_{50}﹩ Mpc). Note that the points are slightly correlated. The value of ﹩b/ r﹩ is almost constant over the range probed here. For this cosmology, we find an average value of ﹩b/ r=1.090\pm 0.035﹩, in excellent agreement with the result from Hoekstra et al. (2001a). (b) Measurement of ﹩\langle M_{X}\mathstrut{\cal N} \rangle / \langle \mathstrut{\cal N} ^{2}\rangle ﹩ (the signal when the phase of the shear is increased by ﹩\pi / 2﹩), which should vanish if the results in (a) are caused by lensing.
