Scientific paper

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a 5000 sq. deg. griz imaging survey to be conducted using the proposed 3 sq. deg. wide-field mosaic camera (The Dark Energy Camera - DECam) on the CTIO Blanco 4m telescope. DECam is a next generation mosaic instrument, requiring a new wide field corrector for the Blanco, and presents many design and manufacturing challenges. Here we present the detailed design of the instrument, and highlight the way the design flows from the survey scientific requirements.
