Abstract
The determination of the power law spectral index, reflection component and high energy cut-off for a significant number of Seyfert galaxies and the s tudy of their possibly correlated variability can provide crucial tests of emission models. Such measurements, pioneered by the joint use of OSSE and ASCA and by the broad band capabilities of BeppoSAX, should be an important scientific goal for IBIS.
