Abstract GT- We propose to perform a medium deep survey with EPIC of a single continuousarea coordinated with approved deep photometric (MEGACAM) and spectroscopic(VIRMOS) surveys. Guaranteed time observations (400 ksec) will cover an area of2 sq. deg. (16X20 + 2X40 ks pointings). This will enable the identification ofgalaxy clusters/groups up to z virgul 1-2 and of ANGs much further away. GT observations will be focussed on AGN evolution and search for distantclusters; they will be completed by an Open Time proposal to cover a surrounding8x8sq.deg.area (10 ks pointings) dedicated to Large Scale Structureinvestigations. This survey is a collaboration between members of the EPIC, OMand SSC consortiums.

Mission Description The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
