Abstract	We propose a 130 ks observation of the MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) which, uponcompletion, will be the deepest (up to 300h) spectroscopic survey ever done withMUSE/VLT. MUDF is centered on a unique field (P2139-443) of two bright,physically associated quasars at z~3.23, separated by ~500 kpc in projection.Both quasars are embedded within large Ly nebulae (~100 kpc), which aresuggestive of an extended filament connecting the two halos of the quasars. Ourmain aim is to collect high-quality X-ray spectra to characterise the physicalproperties (e.g. X-ray slope, luminosities, gas column densities, accretionrate) in the innermost region of this pair with physically associated extendedLy nebulae.

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.
