- Abstract:
-
This paper describes the definition of a typical next-generation space-based weak gravitational lensing experiment. We first adopt a set of top-level science requirements from the literature, based on the scale and depth of the galaxy sample, and the avoidance of systematic effects in the measurements which would bias the derived shear values. We then identify and categorise the contributing factors to the systematic effects, combining them with the correct weighting, in such a way as to fit ...

26 pages, 12 figures. Version 2 contains changes from the refereeing
with a useful clarification of points in section 2.2, leading to an added
section 2.3, while section 3.1 has been slightly expanded. There are no
changes to the results. Other minor edits have been made, and the author list
slightly amended. Accepted by MNRAS. See companion (theory) paper Massey et
