  The Large Zenith Telescope Survey whose construction is almost completed
(first light expected in spring 2002) near Vancouver (Canada) is designed to
observed a total strip of ~17' x 120 deg in 40 medium-band filters spanning
4000-10000 A. It will gather the spectrophotometric energy distributions of ca.
\~10^6 galaxies to redshifts z~1, with redshift accuracy sigma_z=0.01 at
s/n=10, sigma_z=0.04 at s/n=3, ca. 10^5 stars, and a large sample of QSOs,
variable stars, and transient objects of the solar system. The survey is
optimized for studying of the evolution of both the luminosity function and the
clustering of galaxies to a redshift z~1. It will also provide a complete and
homogeneous sample of stars at various galactic latitudes useful for studying
galactic structure, and it will be a good instrument for the monitoring of
variable objects.
