Scientific paper

We propose to perform a set of simultaneous X-ray--TeV observations with XMM and HESS, on the 3 best candidates for new TeV blazars in the southern emisphere. We ask for 10 ks in 7 consecutive nights, corresponding to the HESS visibility times, for each source. This strategy optimizes the simultaneous X-ray--TeV coverage while allowing to sample two different variability timescales: the shortest ones (subhour) and the typical flaring timescale of TeV blazars (one to few days). Our final goal is to strongly constrain the emission models studying with unprecedented detail the evolution of the particle distribution on these two scales, shedding light onto the acceleration mechanism and allowing to disentangle the absorption effects from the blazars intrinsic TeV spectra.
