The nature of the unresolved extragalactic soft CXB
  In this paper we investigate the power spectrum of the unresolved 0.5-2 keV
CXB with deep Chandra 4 Ms observations in the CDFS. We measured a signal
which, on scales >30", is significantly higher than the Shot-Noise and is
increasing with the angular scale. We interpreted this signal as the joint
contribution of clustered undetected sources like AGN, Galaxies and
Inter-Galactic-Medium (IGM). The power of unresolved cosmic sources
fluctuations accounts for \sim 12% of the 0.5-2 keV extragalactic CXB. Overall,
our modeling predicts that \sim 20% of the unresolved CXB flux is made by low
luminosity AGN, \sim 25% by galaxies and \sim 55% by the IGM (Inter Galactic
Medium). We do not find any direct evidence of the so called Warm Hot
Intergalactic Medium (i.e. matter with 10^5K<T<10^7K and density contrast
{\delta} <1000), but we estimated that it could produce about 1/7 of the
unresolved CXB. We placed an upper limit to the space density of postulated
X-ray-emitting early black hole at z>7.5 and compared it with SMBH evolution
models.
