X-Ray Study of Galaxy Evolution from Infancy to Mid-LifeWe present early results from the deepest X-ray stacking of greater than 5000 high redshift galaxies from z=1 to 8 using the recently acquired Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) 4Ms data. The galaxy samples were selected using the Lyman break technique based on recent HST ACS and WFC3 observations. Based on the X-ray stacking analyses for the 1 less than z less than 4 LBGs, we find that the mean L_X/SFR ratio remains roughly constant, consistent with X-ray binary population synthesis models. We do not obtain significant X-ray detections from stacking LBGs at z approximately 6, 7, and 8 and obtain upper limits that are inconsistent with recently published results, constraining the SMBH accretion history of the Universe.
