Left: Number of quasar‐cluster pairs in the SDSS‐RCS sample as a function of the projected physical distance between cluster and quasar LOS at cluster redshift. The line is the expectation for constant projected number density of pairs. Right: Redshift distribution (normalized to maximum frequency) of clusters in the SDSS‐RCS sample and of Mg II absorbers in PPB06.
