Abstract GT-We propose to perform a medium deep survey with EPIC of a single contiguous area coordinated with approved deep photometric (MEGACAM) and spectroscopic (VIRMOS) surveys. Guaranteed time observations (400 ksec) will cover an area of 2 sq. deg. (16x20 + 2x40 ksec pointings). This will allow to identify galaxy clusters/groups up to zvirgul1-2 and AGNs much farther away. GT observations will be focused on AGN evolution and search for distant clusters; they will be completed by an Open Time proposal to cover a surrounding area of 8x8 sq. deg.(10 ksec pointings),dedicated to Large Scale Structure investigations.This GT survey is acollaboration between members of the EPIC, OM and SSC consortia.

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.
