We present the galaxy-galaxy angular correlations as a function of photometric redshift in a deep-wide galaxy survey centered on the Hubble Deep Field South. Images were obtained with the Big Throughput Camera on the Blanco 4m telescope at CTIO, of 1/2 square degree in broad-band uBVRI, reaching ~24th mag. Approximately 40,000 galaxies are detected in the survey. We determine photometric redshifts using galaxy template fitting to the photometry. Monte Carlo simulations show that redshifts from these data should be reliable out to z~1, where the 4000 Angstrom break shifts into the I-band. The inferred redshift distribution, n(z), shows good agreement with the distribution of galaxies measured in the HDF North and the Canada-France Redshift Survey. After assigning galaxies to redshift bins with width Delta_z=0.33, we determine the two point angular correlation function in each bin. We find that the amplitude of the correlation, A_w, drops across the three bins to redshift z~1. Simple epsilon models of clustering evolution fit this result, with the best agreement for epsilon=0. Hierarchical cold-dark-matter models best fit in a low density, Lambda-dominated universe.
