Scientific paper

Radio relics are important diagnostics for identifying clusters undergoing a major merger. We propose observations of two clusters in which we have discovered radio relics. These clusters also show other evidence of a merger. Our twin aims are to image shocks and cold fronts in the intracluster medium due to the merger, and to constrain models of radio relic formation using correlations between radio and X-ray structures. Radio and shock measurements will determine the efficiency and location of electron acceleration. Shock physics will determine the merger dynamics, the efficiency of thermalization in shocks, and whether electrons undergo collisionless heating.
