Scientific paper

Abell 3667 is the archetype of a merging cluster with radio relics. The NW radio relic is the brightest cluster relic or halo known, and is believed to be due to a strong merger shock. This NW region will be imaged with XMM. If a merger shock is present, it will be detected, and the density and temperature jumps will be determined. The comparison of the shock properties and the radio relic will provide a critical test of the merger shock acceleration model for relics. The combination of the XMM data with our Suzaku Hard X-ray Detector spectrum will allow the thermal and nonthermal emission near the relic to be distinguished. The mosaic of this and the previous 7 observations of Abell 3667 will provide a complete dynamical model for this major cluster merger.
