Scientific paper

The investigation of the general properties of non-thermal X-ray shell SNRs, of which SN~1006 is the prototype, is essential to understand how electrons are accelerated in SNR shocks and in general the origin of cosmic rays. Unfortunately, this class of SNRs is composed by too few members: we then propose an XMM large scale program aimed at the discovery of new such objects. We introduce a new selection criterion: the underlying idea is to select SNRs expanding in a lower density medium, i.e. with a lower thermal X-ray emission, that usually outshines the non-thermal one. We have selected the 9 best candidates, still not studied or poorly studied in X rays.
