Scientific paper

We propose ACIS-I and HST observations of 30 distant and very X-ray luminous clusters (z>0.3, Lx>1e45) detected in the MAssive Cluster Survey (MACS). 22 of these 30 are new discoveries. Our targets are the high-z counterparts of the best-studied local systems and, combined with 4 others scheduled for observation, form a statistical sample >10 times larger than any previous one in this redshift and luminosity range. Chandra's unique capabilities will allow us to obtain spatially resolved gas temperature and density maps to constrain both the cosmological and physical parameters governing the evolution of the most massive clusters at z<0.5. The proposed observations are complemented by extensive groundbased follow-up studies of weak gravitational lensing, galaxy dynamics and the SZ effect.
