BigBOSS will make a redshift-space map of 14000 sq. deg. of sky using galaxies out to z 1.6 and quasars beyond that, producing baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) distance measurements out to z 3.5. These measurements will improve the Dark Energy Figure of Merit (FoM) by a factor 3 beyond Stage III experiments, comparable to any planned BAO experiment (including those in space). A further factor of 2 or more in FoM can be gained using the galaxy power spectrum beyond BAO, e.g., including redshift-space distortions and the Alcock-Paczynski test. We describe these projections and comparisons with other experiments.
