We propose to obtain Chandra observations of a complete sample of galaxy clusters detected by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE). The proposed ACIS-I observations of 14 massive, newly-discovered SZE clusters will provide a precision calibration of the SZE signal versus mass correlation out to redshifts of 1. This effort is part of an intensive multi-wavelength campaign to produce an unbiased, well-observed sample of massive galaxy clusters out to high redshifts for cosmological investigations. These proposed observations will allow us to link directly the X-ray and SZE properties of massive clusters, so that cosmologists can reliably utilize the new large cluster samples that are being accumulated from both Chandra and the new SZ experiments.
