Understanding cluster mergers is imperative to our understanding of cluster formation. Our current understanding of the physics involved in mergers is poor because of the high resolution needed for such simulations and the lack of observational data. One of the most startling revelations of Chandra was the existence of cold fronts, the absence of strong shocks and lack of directly detected weak shocks. With its superior PSF Chandra is the best suited instrument for detecting sharp surface brightness and temperature discontinuities associated with shocks and cold fronts and making the necessary measurements to constrain the physical processes involved. We propose deep Chandra observations of the merging clusters A1750, A3558, and A1644.
