Galaxy Surveys with Future X-Ray MissionsThe potential of large area imaging missions with good angular resolution will be demonstrated for galaxy evolution studies. X-rays are an important band in which to study galaxies, not least because the recycling of material out of galaxies (in 'superwinds') is an inherently X-ray subject. So the chemical evolution of the universe is profoundly affected by matter emitting in the X-ray band. Specific requirements on area, FWHM of the PSF and field-of- view will be shown. There is a need for deep imaging, some 100 times fainter than Chandra deep surveys, in order to properly explore galaxy evolution in X-rays.
