Constraining the dark energy equation of state using three dimensional weak lensing

The 3D cosmic shear spectral test uses the shear and redshift information from every galaxy within a survey, this work represents a refinement of the statistics presented in Heavens (2003). I treat the weakly lensed galaxies as estimators of an underlying 3D shear field. This 3D shear field can be d...
