Scientific paper

We present a simple model for the average Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) X-ray spectrum where absorption grows with decreasing luminosity. In this way we can account for the break in the soft X-ray luminosity function for AGN, the redshift distribution of AGN deep surveys, the soft X-ray source counts as determined by various studies with Rosat and the gross spectral properties of the faintest detected objects. Predictions of the model are also presented.
