Scientific paper

We propose an UBVRI-band imaging survey of the deepest ~ square degree of the AKARI deep field at the South Ecliptic Pole. AKARI has superb mid-far-infrared coverage (in 13 bands), and will be superior Spitzer for mid-infrared photo-z determinations for dusty starbursts and AGN identification. Optical imaging will detect almost all the AKARI sources and will provide identifications of the sources that dominate the far-infrared background at z~0.5-1.5. The addition of U-band imaging will provide us with an alternative star-formation measure to our infrared observations to quantify the increasing predominance of dusty obscured starbursts at high redshifts, independently of cosmic variance and in addition, greatly increase the constraints on our photo- z measurements.
