We propose an 80 ks ACIS-S3 observation centered on the Cygnus Loop "XA" region, a region rich with shocks tracing interactions of the blast wave with the interstellar medium. The field offers a chance to improve our understanding of shock physics: it contains examples from all stages of the catastrophic transition from a nonradiative to a fully radiative shock. Over much of the region, we will be able to extract ~10^4 count spectra in ~100" x 3" strips guided by the detailed optical, UV, and X-ray morphology. Chandra's angular resolution allows us to minimize confusion resulting from adjacent (in projection) structures. We will sample the X-ray stratification on scales comparable to those in optical and UV data, providing more stringent constraints on shock evolution models.
