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 ~ 3 x 10^30 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 millisecond 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.
