Scientific paper

The goal of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) is to measure the dark energy equation of state parameter with four complementary techniques. DES will survey 5000 square degrees using a new multi-CCD mosaic camera with 62 science detectors, which will be installed at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, in Chile. In this contributed paper, we overview the goals and status of the project, as well as the specific contributions of the DES-Spain Consortium which are mainly the design, development and construction of most of the electronic boards for the CCDs, large-scale structure simulations and associated science.
