Scientific paper

BL Lac samples selected at X-ray and/or radio wavelengths have resulted in two classes of object, namely HBLs and LBLs. Later works reveal that the two classes are most likely the extremes of a continuous population. We propose to verify this scenario by measuring the X-ray emission from an optically selected sample of BL Lacs, to date undetected at radio and X-ray frequencies. The high sensitivity of Chandra allows us to detect the very faintest sources and set reliable constraints on their flux. The result will resolve the issues concerning the SED of BL Lacs, the relation between SED shape and total luminosity and the spatial densities of HBLs and LBLs.
