The DES Approach toProbe Dark Energy
DES will probe Dark Energy by measuring the expansion history ofthe Universe through (i) the redshift dependence of the luminosity distance, angular
diameter distance, and volume element and
(ii) the growth rate of structure
DES will use four techniques, each of which will provide a good testof the nature of the dark energy. Three will measure the spatial distribution of 300 M galaxies in
five bands to ~24th magnitude over the main DES Survey Area. The fourth technique will exploit the nearly standard luminosities
of the type 1a SNe that will be found in the DES SN Survey. They are complementary and will provide insight into systematic
errors through their complementarity.

I Galaxy Cluster Survey
DES will measure the spatial density of galaxy clustersover an area of 5000 deg2 and make estimates of theirmasses. The number count of galaxies per unit volumeand mass is sensitive to dark energy through its effect on
the angular-diameter distance versus redshift relation andthe growth of structure.
DES will use three methods for cluster selection and
mass estimation: Optical galaxy concentration Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) with SPT data Weak Lensing of galaxies behind each selected cluster

II The Weak Lensing Survey
Strong lensing is apparent in the dramatic distortion of theshapes of individual galaxies behind Abell 2218 causedby the strong gravitational field of the cluster.
Weak lensing is much more subtle.

II Weak Lensing
Weak lensing is the small distortion of individual galaxy images dueto the bending of light as it passes by galaxies and clusters ofgalaxies. It can be measured statistically. The correlations of thegravity induced distortions of the galaxy shapes are sensitive to dark
energy through its effect on the angular diameter distance versusredshift relation and on the growth of structure.
Measurements of weak lensing are sensitive to the systematicdistortions of the optical system point spread function. The techniquerequires excellent control of the systematic errors that contribute to
the observed shapes of the galaxies. DES is placing great emphasison understanding and controlling both hardware and softwarecontributions to these errors.

III Large Scale Structure fromthe Galaxy Survey
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations are imprinted on the large-scalestructure of the spatial distribution of the 300 M galaxies in the DESvolume. They are sensitive to dark energy through its effect on theangular-diameter distance versus redshift.

IV The Supernovae Survey
The luminosity distance measurement oftype 1a SNe as a function of redshift isdirectly affected by dark energy and iscurrently the most proven technique.
The DES SN Survey will produce ~2000well-measured SNe Ia light curves in therange 0.3 < z < ~1. This will allow a moreextensive exploration of systematic errorsthan will be possible before DES.

DES Outlook
By measuring Dark Energy with four, complementarytechniques, DES will advance these techniques and exploretheir systematic error floors.
The Science Working Groups are active. The survey strategy
will deliver substantial science after 2 years. DES is in a unique position to complement the observing
programs of SPT and VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS).
DES Data will be available to the community. The DECamSystem will be scheduled for community observations by
NOAO. The 525 nights of scheduled DECam operations should begin
in the fourth quarter of 2011 soon after commissioning iscomplete.

The Deliverables
From the Collaboration to NOAO1) The DECam instrument itself, a facility-class wide-field optical imager tobe installed at the prime focus of the CTIO Blanco 4m telescope andintegrated into both the telescope system and the standard operation ofCTIO instrumentation, allowing for efficient community use.
2) A data processing pipeline, the Community Pipeline, which will removethe instrumental signatures and provide astrometric and rough photometriccalibration for images taken under a broad, but well defined, set ofobserving modes. This pipeline will be integrated into E2E, the NOAO datamanagement system, and it will comply with appropriate interfaces in thatsystem, and be operational as part of that system.
From NOAO to the Collaboration
3) The Parties agree that the DES Science Program goals can be achievedwith up to 525 scheduled nights with the typical weather conditions that arelikely to be encountered at CTIO over a five year period. NOAO will makethis time available to the Collaboration.

Forecast Constraints
DES+Stage II combined = Factor 4.6 improvement over Stage II combined
Large uncertainties in systematics remain, but FoM is robust to uncertainties in
any one probe, and we havent made use of all the information.Further detail of these forecasts is contained in the Dark Energy SurveyScience Program (DES-d0c # 1204).
