ABSTRACT We study how 21 cm intensity mapping can be used to measure gravitational lensingover a wide range of redshift. This can extend weak lensing measurements to higherredshifts than are accessible with conventional galaxy surveys. We construct a con-vergence estimator taking into account the discreteness of galaxies and calculate theexpected noise level as a function of redshift and telescope parameters. At z ˘ 2 3 we nd that a telescope array with a collecting area ˘ 0:2km 2 spread over a…

It is shown that the new estimator strongly suppresses cosmic variance and consequently improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the detection of lensing, especially on linear scales and intermediate redshifts.
