Scientific paper

We propose to exploit the unique combination of angular resolution, sensitivity and field-of-view of the Chandra ACIS imager to perform the deepest X-ray survey ever in the well-studied "Chandra Deep Field South" (CDFS). With a total integration time of 1.5 Msec (request for this AO: 1 Msec) we reach a 0.5-2 keV flux limit of 2E-17 cgs. We aim to detect >500 sources, i.e. AGN to z=10, clusters to z=3 and starburst galaxies to z~1. Simulations based on the existing 130 ksec observation in the CDFS and realistic source counts and correlation function models show, that Chandra exposures will not be background or confusion limited up to 3Msec. We propose to make the Chandra data public immediately.
