Composite-halo fits to the optimally weighted correlation function, using the LBG background source sample. The significance of the magnification detection is 4.9σ. The dashed line is the composite-SIS and the solid line is the composite-NFW. We find the best-fit relative scaling relations for each to be a = M mag/ M shear = 1.2 ± 0.4 ± 0.4 sys (SIS) and a = 1.8 ± 0.5 ± 0.4 sys (NFW). The dotted line shows the prediction from the shear measured values of M 200 (A. Leauthaud 2011, private communication).
