Scientific paper

We propose to finish the entire mapping of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 within 4 pointings of 20 ks to study one of the most fascinating cosmic-ray accelerators known today. Our objectives are 1) to obtain the full and most detailed description of the morphology of the X-ray synchrotron emission 2) to map the variations of the spectral index and the X-ray absorption 3) to search for spatial correlations with the TeV gamma-ray emission recently imaged with the HESS Cerenkov telescopes 4) to compare how particle acceleration proceeds when the SNR is interacting with molecular clouds or with a tenuous ambient medium
