  12. Gilli et al 2000 The importance of absorption in AGN: the Cosmic X-ray background • The spectral energy distribution peaks at ~30 keV • Unified model: The right mixture of absorbed and unabsorbed AGN produces the spectrum of the Cosmic X-ray background • Predictions: • The majority of X-rays in the Universe are produced in absorbed objects • Many absorbed quasars should be found XMM-Newton Surveys
