Forecasts indicate SKAO cosmic shear can constrain S8 to 5% alone and 3% combined with LSST or Euclid, with added benefits from polarization and kinematics for separating lensing signals.

abstract
We explore the potential of using intensity mapping surveys (MeerKAT, SKA) and optical galaxy surveys (DES, LSST) to detect HI clustering and weak gravitational lensing of 21cm emission in auto- and cross-correlation. Our forecasts show that high precision measurements of the clustering and lensing signals can be made in the near future using the intensity mapping technique. Such studies can be used to test the intensity mapping method, and constrain parameters such as the HI density $\Omega_{\rm HI}$, the HI bias $b_{\rm HI}$ and the galaxy-HI correlation coefficient $r_{\rm HI-g}$.

Weak Lensing with SKAO: Cosmic Shear Cosmology
Forecasts indicate SKAO cosmic shear can constrain S8 to 5% alone and 3% combined with LSST or Euclid, with added benefits from polarization and kinematics for separating lensing signals.
