Scientific paper

We propose to perform a joint XMM/CHANDRA/VIMOS follow-up of three EIS distant clusters recently spectroscopically confirmed using FORS to be at z=0.81,0.94 and 1.14. We propose to observe with IFU of VIMOS the core of these clusters in order to measure their virial mass and study their dynamical state. The XMM/CHANDRA observations will be used to measure the X-ray mass and the morphology of the clusters. This will provide essential information on the physics of gravitational collapse and the relative settling of the gas and galaxies in the dark matter potential. Furthermore the gas entropy in the core and the Lx-T relation will be compared with predictions of various theoretical models, providing greater insight on the physics that givern the ICM evolution.
