Abstract:                                ! Free format text (please update)
    Between the wavelength scales corresponding to the anisotropy
    detected by COBE and the scales probed by current galaxy
    redshift surveys lies an order of magnitude gap in our
    knowledge of large-scale clustering in the universe. To
    measure power on the missing scales, we propose to analyze the
    spatial distribution of QSO absorption line systems from
    archival HST spectra. These absorption systems probe a much
    larger volume than any of the galaxy surveys, with almost
    isotropic coverage. The different species of absorbers  (Ly-
    alpha vs. metals) measure different aspects of the intervening
    mass distribution and may exhibit different clustering
    properties and cross-correlation with deep galaxy samples.
    Applying innovative statistical tools, we will measure the
    large-scale 3D power spectrum of the Ly-alpha absorbers,
    taking advantage of the isotropy of the quasar sample, and the
    cross-correlation power spectra (1D and 3D) between the Ly-
    alpha, metal systems, and normal galaxies of our existing deep
    redshift surveys, to elucidate the physical relationship of
    these systems.
