Scinet LIghtCone Simulations (SLICS)
Documentation
The SLICS (Scinet LIghtCone Simulations) are primarily designed to support cosmological analyses
based on combined probes involving weak gravitational lensing observations.
The simulation suite is consists of 844 independent N-body simulations ran with CUBEP3M,
each post-processed into 100 sq.deg. light-cones, for which a number of observables are available.
These include mock weak lensing galaxy catalogues, spetroscopic galaxy surveys and lensing maps
reconstructed from the cosmological microwave background.

README files are included in the download of each directory
and contain essential information about format and recommended usage of these different mock products.
The different data products are described in details in Paper 1 and Paper 2
Published papers based on the SLICS are also a good place to find inspiration and additional information about their usage.
