Abstract
We have searched for small scale anisotropies in the 1–3 keV X-ray background, using data from 5 Einstein IPC deep fields. Although we find a signal on < 5 arcmin, its significance and origin are not clear. An upper limit for the correlation function at 5 arcmin of ~ 9% (95% confidence) is found, which poses some interesting constraints on the clustering of the X-ray Universe.
