We propose to carry out deep 100 ksec X-ray observations of the globular cluster (GC) M15 with Chandra. M15 has been extensively observed in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) with HST, yielding one of the deepest FUV surveys of a GC to date. Our deep X-ray observations will allow us to (i) find X-ray counterparts to the FUV white dwarf - main sequence star binaries, thus identifying and confirming the cataclysmic variables amongst them; (ii) detect the X-ray faint interacting binaries in this cluster; (iii) detect X-ray counterparts to the pulsars known in the cluster; (iv) classify all X-ray sources based on their X-ray, FUV, NUV and optical properties; (v) and finally test models for IB formation and evolution and verify the empirical results emerging from previous work on other GCs.
