Scientific paper

The direct detection of the low-energy cut-off in the hotspot of 6C0905+3955 constrains the possible acceleration processes. To detect similar cut-offs and investigate their dependence on the luminosity of the source, we have chosen a sample of large, powerful, FRII sources containing reservoirs of aged synchrotron plasma, emitting X-rays via inverse-Compton scattering of CMB photons. Exploiting XMM s excellent soft response and sensitivity this extended emission will expand not only the number of sources with low-energy cut-offs but also measure the energy contained in low Lorentz factor electrons, which has implications for the energy dumped into the surrounding medium.
