Scientific paper

We propose to obtain identification spectra of high redshift quasar candidates selected from 20 deg^2 of multicolor imaging taken with the BTC at the CTIO 4m telescope in November 1997 and November 1998. The primary targets are candidates for quasars at 5 < z < 6 and I < 22 chosen from VIZ imaging data. This allows for quasar selection to M_B < -24, providing a unique data set from which to calculate reliable quasar space densities and differentiate between different proposed forms of evolution in the quasar luminosity function at early epochs.
