Description We propose to map the distribution of matter over a 8x8 sq.deg. area out to
redshifts of virgul1-2, using three complementary approaches: (1) X-ray: galaxy
clusters and QSOs;(2) Optical: galaxies and dark matter through a weak lensing
analysis; (3) Sunyaev-Zel.dovich effect: diffuse extragalactic hot gas. The
proposed XMM survey at a sensitivity of virgul5E-15 erg/s/cm2 in the [0.5-2] keV band
will enable the construction of an homogeneous sample of some 900 galaxy
clusters and, for the first time, the measurement of the cluster correlation
function in 2 redshift bins: 0<z<0.5 & 0.5<z<1. The full data set will provide
unprecedented insights into the initial fluctuation spectrum and the processes
that have modified these fluctuations since the recombination.

Mission Description The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations.
Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
