Scientific paper

XEUS, the successor to XMM-Newton, will have new technologies for spacecraft, optics and detectors, providing the community with unprecedented observational capabilities in the X-ray regime. XEUS will be an X-ray observatory at the L2 point, comprising separate mirror and detector spacecraft. This configuration, coupled with recent major advances in lightweight X-ray mirror design, will provide 5 m2 of collecting area - between 15 and 30 times more than XMM-Newton - feeding a set of state-of-the-art X-ray imaging spectrometers. The resulting very high sensitivity, combined with excellent imaging and spectral capabilities, will, for the first time, bring the power of X-ray diagnostics to bear on studies of the hot, high-redshift universe, as well as on the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions.
