Comparison of the covered area (top) and the number of measured spectroscopic redshifts (bottom) vs. depth expressed as the equivalent i-band limiting magnitude between the VVDS (magenta) and different spectroscopic redshift surveys. The PAUS will be a few mag deeper (over 10 times denser) than current completed large-area flux-limited surveys (such as Gama) and 10 times larger than current completed deep flux-limited surveys (such as VVDS/VIPERS/Deep2; le Fevre et al. 2013).
