Scientific paper

We propose to carry out a deep 1 Ms XMM-Newton observation of the entire SN 1006 supernova remnant (SNR) for a major breakthrough in answering key questions on the physics of SNRs, related to particle acceleration at their shock, magnetic field amplification, heating of the electrons and ions at the shock, abundances and distribution of the chemical elements in the ejecta. This historical type Ia SNR exhibits a dual nature in X-rays with a bipolar non-thermal morphology like in radio, superposed on a fainter extended thermal emission. It is one of the best examples of shock acceleration of cosmic-ray electrons to energies approaching the "knee'' of the cosmic-ray spectrum and gathers the most important issues concerning SNR physics.
