Abstract :	[en] We describe the properties of X-ray point-like sources detected over 4.2 sq. degs. of the largest contiguous survey with XMM-Newton to date (the XMM-LSS survey) to fluxes of F[SUB]2-10 keV[/SUB] 8x10[SUP]-15[/SUP] erg/s/cm[SUP]2[/SUP] and F[SUB]0.5-2 keV[/SUB] 2x10[SUP]-15[/SUP] erg/s/cm[SUP]2[/SUP] respectively. For 1200 sources in the soft band, we find a two-point angular correlation function (ACF) signal similar to previous work, but no correlation for 400 sources in the hard band. A sample of 200 faint sources with hard X-ray spectra does show a 2-3 sigma positive signal with a power-law normalization theta[SUB]0[/SUB]>40 arcsec. We discuss implications, including the fact that a large correlation length for obscured AGN is inconsistent with simple AGN Unification based on orientation only.
