Scientific paper

Giant radio sources at redshift one and above are detectable as extended X-ray sources due to inverse Compton scattering of the Cosmic Microwave Background by relativistic electrons with Lorentz factors of about 1000. We propose here to make two 40 ks observations with XMM of regions selected from the Australia Telescope Low Brightness Survey which are rich in extended radio sources in order to detect this emission. We shall determine the total energy in relativistic electrons (which is relevant to how central black holes feed energy back to their surroundings) and magnetic fields where the X-ray and radio emission overlap.
