Scientific paper

We propose to use Chandra to observe two galaxy clusters discovered in an optical survey: the LCDCS. These clusters have been confirmed as gravitationally bound objects by recent clear detections of strong lensing features. This would be the first X-ray observation of these high redshift clusters (z=0.61,67) allowing us a direct comparison of their X-ray properties with the ones from the RCS sample. The Chandra observations proposed here will also be used as ``calibration'' for future deeper exposures of a larger sample of LCDCS clusters which scientific aim is explain the discrepancy between measured and predicted lensing rates, by comparing mass profiles and degree of substructures of lensing and non lensing clusters from the same sample.
