3. Why hard X-ray surveys are important Most direct probe of the SMBH accretion activity SMBH census Constraints to models for the formation and evolution of structures in the Universe

4. A few key questions…. Which are the cosmological properties (e.g. XLF) of the absorbed and unabsorbed AGN population? Is the ratio absorbed/unabsorbed AGN a function of Lx and/or z? How the results compare with the Unification models of AGN? What about the heavily absorbed (N H >10 24 cm -2 ) Compton Thick AGN?

5. The XMM Bright Survey is aimed at selecting and spectroscopically identifying a large and statistically representative sample of bright (f x >~7x10 -14 c.g.s) serendipitous XMM sources in two complementary energy bands. 0.5-4.5 keV energy band: Bright Sample (BS) 4.5-7.5 keV energy band: Hard Bright Sample (HBSS) The XMM-Newton Bright Survey

XMM fields used 237 Sources 400 (f x > ~7x10 -14 cgs) Identified 348 (87%) (~240 sources from us) Covered Area (deg 2 ) 28 Spectroscopic Classification % Type 1 AGN 70% Type 2 AGN 10% Other Extragalactic 4% Stars 16% The XMM-Newton Bright Survey in pills Optical and X-ray spectral analysis is possible for almost all the sources in the XBS!!

27. Conclusions We have discussed here the HBSS AGN sample. Absorbed AGN have a steeper XLF than the unabsorbed ones; The intrinsic fraction of absorbed (Thin) AGN with L x >~3x10 42 cgs is 0.57  0.11. In excellent agreement with local samples of hard (>10 keV) selected AGN at a flux limit of 10 -11 cgs; The fraction of abs. AGN is a function of L x and, probably, of z; Our results support the modified receding torus model; We have derived, in an indirect way, the XLF of Compton Thick AGN and found that XLF Thick ~ 2 x XLF 4E21-E24 ; The fraction Thick AGN/Thin AGN decreases with L x.
