Dark Energy Survey

5000 sq-deg in the South Galactic Cap in 30% of 5 years (’09 –’14)

– 300,000 galaxies, 30,000 clusters, 2000 SN- Ia

– 3 sq-degree camera with ≥ 2.2 deg FOV

– SDSS g,r,i,z filters covering 400 to 1100nm

– Limiting mag of griz =22.8, 23.4, 24.0, 23.6

Prime Focus Cage of the Blanco Telescope

We plan to replace this and everything inside it

DES Status

• DES went through the PAC in April and June 04• July 04 we received Stage 1 approval

– permission to submit full technical proposal to NOAO– license to recruit funding

• Aug/Sept 04: reviewed and accepted by NOAO• Awaiting outcome of the Dark Energy Task Force

– DETF should issue a report in summer 05– If favorable DOE will proceed directly with CD-0 followed shortly by CD-1 – Need to get Equip. funds in FY07 to stay on 2009 delivery schedule.

• FY05/06 are R&D years– CCDs: establish yield, learn to test CCDs, demonstrate packaging– Optics: finalize design– Front End Electronics – develop system design, begin prototyping, testing

Develop firm cost of project for CD1 review in early FY06


3

DES Organization

• DES is divided into 2 projects under direction of Project director (J. Peoples) – WBS 1.0 Instrument project – Fermilab– WBS 2.0 Data Management project – UIUC/NCSA

Instrument project provides simulated and real data to Data management project

Until now:Instrument Construction has been mainly PPD

Survey Planning has beenCD-EAG

Front End Electronics and DAQ

• Large focal plane implies long cables between CCD and electronics crates• Reference design being developed – may have preamps close to CCDs in kapton cables• Goals are noise < 5 e-, linearity <0.25%, support a readout rate of 250 kpix/sec• Reliable operation requires careful consideration of internal and external components• Minimize heat generated in the PF cage by locating DAQ off telescope

off the cage


8

DES plans to use Monsoon DHE and DAQ as starting point for FEE and DAQ.

Monsoon will be used for testing CCDs until Production FEE is available

Modifications needed:higher density than in current design (16 channels instead of 8)

Minimize space and power on the telescope.

Potential CD involvement: Hardware

• Front End Electronics: Terri Shaw is leading the effort– she is 50% DES plus we have 50% of another EE – schedule says we need 3 EE FTE this year

• Barcelona will provide 0.5 -1 by end of summer ; could use more at FNAL !!!

– Test stand support: adapter cables, cards, Monsoon operations– FEE System design: workshop March 14-18

• will bring together all the experts: CTIO, Tucson, Barcelona• flesh out the overall system design, define strategy for getting questions

answered, organizing the different groups• Other tasks that could use CD electrical engineering support:

– “Slow” controls – Del Allspach is leading this• control of shutter, filter, focal plane temperature, vac. pressure• May have space/heat constraints that requires EE to design custom

boards– Telescope/Instrument controls:

• Coordination of all the disparate systems: Slew telescope, open shutter, guide telescope, start DAQ

• CTIO will lead, but they do not have enough resources


11

CD involvement: “software”

• DES Instrument project (FNAL) provides simulated and real data to DM project– Simulations going on now, form data challenges each year

• FNAL also should be capable of contributing to data reprocessing during the survey (2009-2014)

• Resources are collected under WBS 1.3 Survey planning; • CPs needed: 0.5 FTE in ‘05, 1 in ‘06, 2 in each ‘07 and ’08

This is roughly consistent with what is available in EAG, without increasing the size of the EAG CP group; but is tight until SDSS ramps down (July 2008)

• The ability for FNAL to do DES science analysis would be enhanced by adding additional resources that increase access to the data:

– high performance data bases developed at FNAL – grid based mass data storage transfers– further development of National Virtual Observatory at Fermilab

• Chris will say more about these – the point is that they would all benefit DES


12

Conclusions

• We have passed the initial reviews, and have embarked on an R&D plan with funds for collaborating institutions + Fermilab

• CD could get involved in DES “hardware”: – Front End Electronics, “slow” controls, Telescope/Instrument

controls

• CD is already contributing to Survey Planning, – Critical that EAG support be maintained

• Further development of data access technologies would increase the ability for FNAL to do DES science
