Scientific paper

We propose Chandra imaging of 16 high-redshift (z=2.1-4.7) quasars with bright extended (>2.5'' long) radio jets to search for and study their X-ray counterparts. The radio sources are core-dominated, and their flat-spectrum indicate that relativistic beaming of the emission is important. These data will systematically probe the physics of relativistic jets at much higher-redshifts than studied with Chandra thus far. Also, the currently favored models -- synchrotron vs. inverse Compton (IC) scattering of the CMB -- predict vastly different X-ray fluxes for these jets at such high-redshifts. These observations may serve as a simple test of these models.
