Scientific paper

We attempt to identify Compton-thick AGN in the Chandra Deep Field South which is the area of the sky with the deepest Chandra (4Ms) and XMM (3Ms) observations. Our goal is to locate AGN at moderate redshifts (z 1) where the bulk of the X-ray background is produced. We use X-ray spectroscopy for the detection of either flat (transmission-dominated) and/or high equivalent width Fe lines. As a secondary diagnostic we use Spitzer data in order to identify sources with abnormally low Lx/L6micron luminosity ratio. We present the X-ray properties of our 16 candidate Compton-thick AGN together with their mid-IR SEDs and colour-magnitude diagram
