Abstract
We present the results from our intermediate resolution
spectroscopic survey for T Tauri stars
in the Scorpius Centaurus
OB association. In a 160 square-degree area in Upper Scorpius,
where 86 T Tauri stars were previously known,
we could identify 46 new T Tauri stars
by follow up observations of X-ray selected stars.
We also investigated
the completeness of our X-ray selected sample by observing
more than 100 stars that were not detected as X-ray sources,
but have proper motions indicating membership to ScoCen.
We found that none of these stars is a T Tauri star.
We conclude that our X-ray selected sample of T Tauri star seems to
be rather complete for stars with L_bol > 0.5 L_sun.
