Statistical Properties of the Lyman-alpha Forest

We have observed two high -redshift quasars with the echelle spectrograph and 2D- Frutti Photon Counter at Las Campanas, in order to investigate the statistical properties of the Lyman -a forest. The two-point correlation function for the Lyman -a forest lines at z .^s 3 is consistent with zero,...
