Rapid X-ray Variability of the BL Lacertae Object PKS 2155-304

(Abridged) We present a detailed power density spectrum and cross-correlation analysis of the X-ray light curves of the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304, observed with BeppoSAX in 1997 and 1996, aimed at exploring the rapid variability properties and the inter-band cross correlations in the X-rays. We also perform the same analysis on the (archival) X-ray light curve obtained with ASCA in 1994.
