6x10 -18 flux level of GRAPES, GalICS predicts about 85 galaxies at z>4 in the 11.3 arcmin 2<br />

field of view of the ACS, <strong>for</strong> about 60h of observing time (at a cost of 0.7 h per galaxy), a<br />

projection that is quite sensitive to the flux threshold, but lies on the conservative side of the<br />

estimates made by the GRAPES team. Of course, if it turns out that GRAPES gets more<br />

objects, the efficiency of MUSE will be correspondingly increased. In any case, this makes<br />

MUSE deep fields significantly more efficient<br />

than current narrow-band surveys, and even<br />

than HST deep surveys, to find bona-fide faint<br />

Ly α emitters.<br />

Moreover, according to these models, most of<br />

the objects detected by MUSE at 4
