We propose IRS spectroscopy of a sample 23 i) luminous, ii) highly obscured, iii) high redshift (Z ~ 2) QSO in the COSMOS field. They are selected on the basis of very red mid-IR to optical colors and represent the first complete 24 micron flux limited (f(24>0.75mJ) sample at high redshift. Their high MIR luminosity, their hard X-ray stacked signal and the accurate photometric redshifts assure that the proposed targets are among the most luminous and most obscured (most likely Compton Thick) AGN at z~2. The observed radio luminosities suggest that vigourous star formation is on-going in most of the objects. Therefore, our proposed targets represent the best, homogenous and complete sample of sources catched in the golden epoch of their co-eval accretion and star formation phase. The proposed IRS observations represent an unique opportunity to quantify the relative contribution of two phenomena.
