Coincidences of high density peaks in UVES spectra of QSO pairs

Abstract

We present preliminary results of an investigation of the clustering properties of high matter density peaks between redshift ~2 and ~3, as traced by Lyman limit and Damped Ly-alpha systems in spectra of close QSO pairs and groups.
