The two point correlation function is an important method to investigate thelarge scale distribution of galaxies. The samples using in this paper are based on theLBG (Lyman break galaxy) candidates which selected from Burgarella et al (2007) byChen et al (2013), the redshift range of the LBG candidates is z~1. The completed ABapparent magnitude is24.2in NUV band with the completeness~83%and thelimited magnitude26.2. We weight the sample galaxies to correct the Malmquist biasby fitting Schechter luminosity function. We calculate the two-point correlationfunction of samples in the redshift space by fitting the correlation function as apower law with the consideration of edge effect. We obtain the power index γ=-1.83+0.09;-0.09, and the correlation length r0=5.31+1.61;-1.67h(-1)Mpc in the flatΛCDM cosmology with ΩL=0.7and Ωm=0.3at last.
