There is increasing evidence that high rates of star formation in massive galaxies was common in rich environments at z > 1. The leading candidate for quenching the star formation and transforming cluster galaxies into red sequence galaxies is AGN. Therefore we expect to see an increase in AGN incidence in dense environments at z > 1. We propose to systematically determine the incidence of AGN in galaxy clusters at 1 < z < 1.5 using moderately deep ACIS imaging of IR-selected clusters in the Bootes field. In conjunction with extensive data from Spitzer, HST, and Keck, we will test the AGN quenching paradigm for the origin of the stars in massive galaxies.
