Scientific paper

The ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) comprises an extremely well-studied sample of optically-selected cluster fields, including eight spectroscopically-confirmed clusters at z > 0.6 for which velocity dispersions and weak lensing maps have already been derived. We have studied three fields with XMM to date and here propose a completion of the sample. The proposed observations will allow us to: i) significantly expand the high-redshift L_X - sigma and T - sigma relations; ii)study the X-ray properties of the progenitors of typical present-day clusters; iii) examine the inherent biases in X-ray-selected high-redshift cluster surveys; and iv) test the validity of various mass estimation methods at high redshift.
