We propose to observe with XMM-Newton 5 Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs, L_IR=10^11-10^12L_sun) and analyze existing X-ray data for another 13 LIRGs. Previous X-ray studies of local LIRGs are biased towards the most IR-luminous objects as well as those systems hosting a bright AGN. These 18 local LIRGs are representative of the LIRG class in terms of IR luminosity and nuclear activity. The proposed XMM observations and existing multi-wavelength data will allow to characterize the star formation history of these galaxies and relate it to their X-ray emission. A comprehensive multi-wavelength understanding of the extreme processes (star formation and AGN) taking place in local LIRGs is needed to improve the linkage of X-ray, UV and IR observations of deep cosmological fields.
