Query: Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes from Continuum Reverberation Mapping in the
  DES Standard Star Fields   Measurements of the physical properties of accretion disks in active galactic
nuclei are important for better understanding the growth and evolution of
supermassive black holes. We present the accretion disk sizes of 22 quasars
from continuum reverberation mapping with data from the Dark Energy Survey
(DES) standard star fields and the supernova C fields. We construct continuum
lightcurves with the \textit{griz} photometry that span five seasons of DES
observations. These data sample the time variability of the quasars with a
cadence as short as one day, which corresponds to a rest frame cadence that is
a factor of a few higher than most previous work. We derive time lags between
bands with both JAVELIN and the interpolated cross-correlation function method,
and fit for accretion disk sizes using the JAVELIN Thin Disk model. These new
measurements include disks around black holes with masses as small as
$\sim10^7$ $M_{\odot}$, which have equivalent sizes at 2500\AA \, as small as
$\sim 0.1$ light days in the rest frame. We find that most objects have
accretion disk sizes consistent with the prediction of the standard thin disk
model when we take disk variability into account. We have also simulated the
expected yield of accretion disk measurements under various observational
scenarios for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Deep Drilling Fields. We find
that the number of disk measurements would increase significantly if the
default cadence is changed from three days to two days or one day.
