Scientific paper

The evidence for obscured AGN and in particular for obscured quasars is
discussed. The spectrum and source modelling of the X-ray Background suggests
that most massive black holes grow by obscured accretion. A possible major
growth phase which is Compton thick is explored and shown to be difficult to
detect directly with current instruments.
