Abstract
The DESI survey will measure large-scale structure using quasars as direct
tracers of dark matter in the redshift range 0.9<z<2.1 and using quasar
Ly-α forests at z>2.1. We present two methods to select candidate
quasars for DESI based on imaging in three optical (g, r, z) and two infrared
(W1, W2) bands. The first method uses traditional color cuts and the second
utilizes a machine-learning algorithm.
