Abstract

Description

We discuss a method aiming to use photometric redshifts in lensing clusters to access the population of distant background sources. The amplification provided by gravitational lensing allows to calibrate photometric redshifts 1 to 3 magnitudes deeper with respect to field studies. We present and discuss some results obtained with this procedure on extensively studied clusters, as well as the future issues of this project.
