Scientific paper

We propose to observe the northwest radio relic region of the cluster Abell 2256 for 60 ksec, after a previous XMM-Newton observation, in order to localize the nonthermal hard X-ray emission detected by BeppoSAX. The energy range and the spectral capabilities of EPIC are able to disentangle the nonthermal radiation from the thermal emission in the radio relic, likely associated with the ongoing merger of a subcluster with the main cluster. Besides, we can firmly verify the suggested link between particle acceleration processes due to merger events and the formation of extended radio regions and nonthermal X-ray emission.
