The Extended Groth Strip (EGS) is a half square degree region that has been targeted intensively for galaxy evolution studies. A remarkable array of ultra-deep data have been or will be accumulated, to include radio, near/mid/far IR, optical and UV data of depth comparable to or better than any part of the sky. It is also the subject of the massive DEEP2 redshift survey, giving high quality Keck spectra for 16-17,000 galaxies. The clear gap in the coverage of the EGS is in the X-ray, and we therefore propose to augment the single deep Chandra pointing with 7 more, to image the whole strip. Our goal is to study the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes, by examining in detail the astrophysics of AGN activity, and its relationship to the host galaxy and surrounding large scale structure.
