Scientific paper

We propose to obtain X-ray fluxes for a sample of the most optically luminous quasars at high redshift (z>4 and z=2), as part of a campaign to study in detail the SEDs of these objects. All the targets have either bright detections, or deep upper limits, at submm wavelengths, obtained during our recent SCUBA quasar survey. Sensitive X-ray observations are a crucial part of this project, because they give an insight into the central engine of the AGN itself, and could help clarify to what extent the submm emission is powered by dust heated by the AGN, or by a starburst in the quasar's primeval host galaxy. The targets shall become an important reference sample for studies of quasar SEDs, across the spectrum from X-rays to radio.
