37 Comparison with CDM HC models Menci,Fiore,Perola & Cavaliere 2004

38 CXB Resolved fraction LogL< <LogL<44.5 LogL>44.5 Menci et al 2004

39 Summary most of the CXB <6-8keV is resolved in sources Black Hole mass density ~2 times higher than that estimated from optical and soft X-rays: better agreement with CXB estimates and with local space density Differential evolution of number and luminosity densities. Nice agreement between the evolution of luminous QSO and CDM HC models. Problems with low luminosity AGN? Revision of Unified Schemes

40 Revision of Unified Schemes Mild.

41 Revision of Unified Schemes Strong: Low L Seyfers and powerful QSO: different populations. A working scenario: Seyferts associated to galaxies with merging histories characterized by small mass progenitors. Feedback is effective in self-regulating accretion and SF, cold gas is left available for subsequent nuclear activation produced by loose galaxy encounters (fly-by). QSOs associated to galaxies with large mass progenitors. Feedback is less effective, most gas is quickly converted in stars and accreted during a few major mergers at high Eddington rates. The obscuration properties of the two populations can be different in term of geometry, gas density, covering factor, ionization state, metallicity, dust content etc..

42 What s next? 1) Paucity of high z loglx<44.5 sources? Real or are we missing highly obscured AGNs? 2) Compare the obscuration properties of Seyfert 2 galaxies and QSO2 3) Deconvolve accr. rate and BH mass: 4) Seyfert-QSO/galaxy clustering and its evolution

43 1) Paucity of Seyfert like z>1 is real? Or, is it, at least partly, a selection effect? Are we missing in Chandra and XMM surveys highly obscured (NH 1024 cm-2) AGN? Which are common in the local Universe

44 Imaging surveys up to 8-10 kev (ASCA,BSAX, Chandra, XMM): most of the CXB <6-7 kev is resolved in sources. But only 40-50% in the 5-10 kev band. Few % E>10keV. The light-up and evolution of obscured accreting SMBH is still largely unknown Worsley et a. 2004

45 What s needed? Sensitive observations at the peak of the CXB (~20-40 kev) to probe highly X-ray obscured AGN But.. How deep should we go? and how hard should we go?

46 Residual CXB after subtracting the resolved fraction below 10 kev Comastri 2004 We need to resolve: 80% of (similar to Chandra and XMM deep fields below 10 kev) 50% of 20-40keV

47 CXB fraction >50% res.cxb >80% res.cxb F(20-40keV)< cgs or 0.75 µcrab cgs or 0.1 µcrab F(10-30keV)< cgs or 0.65 µcrab cgs or 0.13 µcrab

80 Wide band Multilayer (supermirrors) if the d-spacing is varied in a continuous way (supermirror) and the absorption is negligible (E > 10 kev) it is possible to reflection bands 34 times wider than those for total reflection in mirrors with a single layer of e.g. Au, Pt, Ir.

91 Conclusions To improve the present knowledge on the sources making the CXB, to have a more complete census of SMBH up to z=1-2, i.e. the golden age of AGN and galaxy activity, we should go down to fluxes where: 80% of the 10-30keV CXB is resolved in sources (0.1 Crab); 50% of the 20-40keV CXB is resolved in sources (0.75 Crab) This can be done with lightweight (<400kg), multilayer optics with Aeff 500 kev and 15 HPD
