| Popis: | Here, we present the angular diameter distance measurement obtained from the measurement of the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature using the completed Dark Energy Survey (DES) data, summarizing the main results of [Phys. Rev. D 110, 063514] and [Phys. Rev. D 110, 063515]. We use a galaxy sample optimized for BAO science in the redshift range 0.6 < z < 1.2, with an effective redshift of $z_{\rm eff}$ = 0.85. Our consensus measurement constrains the ratio of the angular distance to the sound horizon scale to $D_M(z_{\rm eff})/r_d$ = 19.51 $\pm$ 0.41. This measurement is found to be 2.13$\sigma$ below the angular BAO scale predicted by Planck. To date, it represents the most precise measurement from purely photometric data, and the most precise from any Stage-III experiment at such high redshift. The analysis was performed blinded to the BAO position and is shown to be robust against analysis choices, data removal, redshift calibrations and observational systematics.
