QSO Pairs and the Lyman-alpha Forest: Observations, Simulations, and Cosmological Implications
This dissertation addresses two cosmological applications of the Lyman-alpha (Ly ɑ) forest observed in QSO pairs separated by several arcminutes or less. The Ly ɑ flux autocorrelation and cross-correlation provide a measurement of cosmic geometry at z > 2, via a variant of the Alcock-Paczyński te...
