If you have a question about this talk, please contact Xingang Chen .

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy eXperiment (HETDEX) is a blind spectroscopic survey to map the evolution of dark energy using Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) as tracers over the redshift range 1.9 < z < 3.5. We will describe the project, including the survey instrument, VIRUS , to be deployed on the upgraded 9.2m HET . We will then discuss the main science goals of the baseline survey which is expected to start in early 2013 and to last 3 years and to deliver spectra of 0.8M LAEs in a 9 cubic Gpc volume. Time permitting, we will then discuss potential ancillary science and extensions of the survey currently under consideration. We conclude by discussing the current status of the project.
