Strong shocks are expected to be important during the AGN dominated epochs of galaxy formation and evolution. However these shocks have not yet been detected at high redshifts. Here we propose to observe a radio galaxy which should produce strong shocks, but at a redshift where we can detect and resolve the hot gas easily. This is only possible because we will observe a relatively nearby young radio galaxy. Using XMM we found evidence for a strong shock (Mach 13) around the Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) Radio Galaxy 3C303.1. We propose to obtain Chandra imaging of the CSS source B3 1445+410 which is larger and lower redshift than 3C303.1. These observations will provide the key next step in the study of radio source propagation and feedback to the host galaxy.
