Scientific paper

We will review the capabilities of XMM and AXAF that are of specific relevance to observations of X-ray clusters of galaxies. Using simulations we will demonstrate how these two satellites can be used to uncover substructure and to measure temperature profiles as a function of redshift and luminosity. Expectations for cluster detection and temperature measurements from the XMM Serendipitous Sky Survey will also be discussed. We will then go on to describe how these various observations can be used to further our understanding of cosmology; through estimates of fundamental parameters such as H_0 and Omega_0 and via tests of universal cluster profiles.
