Scientific paper

We propose to conduct the first of a two-part deep galactic plane survey on one ACIS-I field in Baade's Window, a region of low obscuration near the galactic center. The survey will reach a sensitivity limit of Lx 3x10^30 erg/s for sources in the galactic bulge, and thus provide the first census of accretion powered binaries {cataclysmic variables and quiescent low mass x-ray binaries} as well as millsecond pulsars to constrain the stellar and binary evolution of the bulge vs the populations in globular clusters and the disk. Optical identifications will be made with a coordinated mosaic survey with ACS on HST {B/R/Halpha}, to achieve a sensitivity for CVs down to their luminosity function peak at Mv 9. A later, followup survey would complete the coverage of Baades Window.
