Scientific paper

We wish to make deep observations of giant radio galaxies having known X-ray emission extended along their radio axes, associated with the oldest part of the synchrotron lobes that straddle their respective active galactic nuclei. We wish to establish the spatial extent of these inverse Compton scattered CMB photons that give the observed X-rays since this emission traces the presence of particles with Lorentz Factor ~ 1000. This is an extremely important clue in establishing the so-called "low-energy cutoff", the Lorentz factor at which the particle energy distribution turns over at low energies: determining this is crucial for quantifying the amount of energy that these lobes store and can deposit in the IGM
