摘要
The fraction of the hard X-ray background (XRB) resolved into individual sources by the deep Chandra and XMM-Newton surveys strongly depends on the adopted energy range and decreases with increasing energy. As a consequence the nature of the sources of the even harder (> 10 keV) XRB remains observationally poorly constrained. I will briefly discuss the need for X-ray observations above 10 keV.
