Scientific paper

We propose a very deep (total 800ks/field) Chandra survey of 0.25 deg2 covering 3 contiguous fields in the Extended Groth Strip, which have exceptional multiwaveband coverage obtained by the AEGIS project. These data, in combination with the CDF North and South, will provide a definitive measurement of the evolution of faint, X-ray selected AGN from z=3-4, where the optical number counts start to drop dramatically. In combination with ultradeep Spitzer data in the same region, this survey will also provide a crucial step forward towards a more complete census of AGN activity and the importance of Compton thick AGN at high z, with associated implications for the total accretion budget of the universe.
