  The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a 5000 sq deg griz imaging survey to be
conducted using a proposed 3 sq deg (2.2deg-diameter) wide-field mosaic camera
on the CTIO Blanco 4m telescope. The primary scientific goal of the DES is to
constrain dark energy cosmological parameters via four complementary methods:
galaxy cluster counting, weak lensing, galaxy angular correlations, and Type Ia
supernovae, supported by precision photometric redshifts. Here we present the
photometric calibration plans for the DES, including a discussion of standard
stars and field-to-field calibrations.
