Scientific paper

We propose a 450 ksec observation of A3667, the best example of a cluster cold front. A deep image of the best cold front by the highest angular resolution X-ray telescope will push the study of the physics of the intracluster medium to the limit. Our main goals are 1) to observe the turbulence in the intracluster medium by direct imaging of any perturbations of the front surface; 2) to study transport processes in the ICM using the gas density and temperature profiles across the front with a spatial resolution of 1/5 of the Coulomb mean free path; 3) to characterize the magnetic field structure by mapping the onset of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The proposed deep Chandra image of A3667 will be one of the treasury images of the X-ray astronomy.
