Scientific paper

We propose the continuation of our ACIS-I survey of the most distant, very X-ray luminous clusters detected in the MACS Survey. Comprising the high-z counterparts of the best-studied massive local systems (from e.g. the BCS), and - at the same time - the high-mass counterparts of the large body of X-ray selected, distant poor clusters (from e.g. the 400d survey), this sample represents a unique opportunity to extend significantly the redshift and mass baseline of cosmological and physical cluster studies. The proposed observations will 1) provide reliable cluster fluxes, luminosities, global temperatures, and total mass estimates for cosmological studies of cluster evolution; and 2) identify, for future in-depth study, the most extreme clusters in an M-z range unprobed by any other survey.
