Abstract	Galaxy clusters grow hierarchically through the merger/accretion of smallersubstructures along filaments. The dynamically young cluster A1367 is one of thebest examples to study the cluster evolution because of its proximity and withabundant multi-wavelength data. Additional to the main merger along the NW-SEdirection and a merger shock/radio relic at the NW, we also find evidences ofanother counter-shock at the SE and the accretion of group/filament along theComa-A1367 supercluster. We propose XMM observations to complete a coverage ofthe R500 radius of A1367 to 1) explore the unique case of an extended shockradio/tail interaction; 2) study the dynamics of the cluster/filament transitionregion; and 3) search for X-ray tails/clumps associated with Halpha emission.

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.
