Description
Summary:The identification and study of the first galaxies remains one of the most exciting topics in observational cosmology. The determination of the best possible observing strategies is a very important choice in order to build up a representative sample of spectroscopically confirmed sources at high-z (z>7), beyond the limits of present-day observations. This paper is intended to precisely adress the relative efficiency of lensing and blank fields in the identification and study of galaxies at 6
