A Broadband X-ray Imaging Spectroscopy in the 2030s: The FORCE MissionWe present the Focusing on Relativistic universe and Cosmic Evolution (FORCE) mission, the product of a JAXA/NASA collaboration. The FORCE mission will achieve 10 times higher sensitivity in the hard X-ray band in comparison to any previous hard X-ray mission. FORCE aims to be launched in the early 2030s, as a perfect hard X-ray complement to Athena. FORCE provides broadband (1-79 keV) X-ray imaging spectroscopy with high angular resolution (<15"). FORCE will be the most powerful X-ray probe for discovering obscured/hidden black holes and studying high energy particle acceleration in our Universe.
