Abstract: We performed a deep wide field optical survey of the young (~ 100 - 150 Myr) open cluster Blanco1 to study its low mass population well down into the brown dwarf regime and estimate its mass function over the whole cluster mass range.The survey covers 2.3 square degrees in the I and z - bands down to I ~ z ~ 24 with the CFH12K camera.

Examples of science projects enabled by the data in the High - Latitude Survey include: mapping the formation of cosmic structure in the first billion years after the Big Bang via the detection and characterization of over 10,000 galaxies at z > 8; finding over 2,000 QSOs at z > 7; quantifying the distribution of dark matter on intermediate and large scales through lensing in clusters and in the field; identifying the most extreme star - forming galaxies and shock - dominated systems at 1 < z < 2; carrying out a complete census of star - forming galaxies and the faint end of the QSO luminosity function at z ~ 2, including their contribution to the ionizing radiation; and determining the kinematics of stellar streams in the Local Group through proper motions.
