Résumé

We measure the cross-correlation signature between the Planck cosmicmicrowave background (CMB) lensing map and the weak lensing observations from both the Red-sequence Cluster Lensing Survey and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey. In addition to a Fourier analysis, we include the first configuration-space detection, based on the estimators \textlesskappa(CMB)kappa(gal)\textgreater and \textlesskappa(CMB)gamma(t)\textgreater. Combining 747.2 deg(2) from both surveys, we find a detection significance that exceeds 4.2 sigma in both Fourier-and configuration-space analyses. Scaling the predictions by a free parameter A, we obtain A(CFHT)(Planck) = 0.68 +/- 0.31 and A(RCS)(Planck) = 1.31 +/- 0.33. In preparation for the next generation of measurements similar to these, we quantify the impact of different analysis choices on these results. First, since none of these estimators probes the exact same dynamical range, we improve our detection by combining them. Secondly, we carry out a detailed investigation on the effect of apodization, zero-padding and mask multiplication, validated on a suite of high-resolution simulations, and find that the latter produces the largest systematic bias in the cosmological interpretation. Finally, we show that residual contamination from intrinsic alignment and the effect of photometric redshift error are both largely degenerate with the characteristic signal from massive neutrinos, however the signature of baryon feedback might be easier to distinguish. The three lensing data sets are publicly available.
