Improving the HXLF: Faint end slope at the QSO epoch Limited samples of Seyfert-type AGN at z ~ 2 Does ‘cosmic downsizing’ extend to higher redshifts? Binned estimate: 1/Va Model fit: PLE-z dependent faint end slope (Hopkins et al. 2006) Model fit: Luminosity-dependent density evolution (LDDE) z=0

Conclusions New hard X-ray luminosity function out to z ~ 5 Cha. MP effectively finding the most luminous (log Lx > 44. 5) at z > 3 CDF N+S probe the faint end slope Well defined peak in the number density of AGNs with strong luminosity dependence Rapid buildup of the most massive (M > 108 Msolar) SMBHs at z > 1 Emergence of low mass (M < 108 Msolar) SMBHs at z < 1 Future improvements (e. g. faint end slope, high z) from the E-CDF-S, Extended Groth Strip and c.
