摘要
The XMM-Newton Large-Scale Structure Survey (XMM-LSS) will ultimately cover a region of 8x8 square degrees and with the unprecedented sensitivity of XMM will provide a unique dataset to study the evolution of the cosmic network as traced by clusters and AGNs/QSOs. We discuss the scientific goals and show some first observations of candidate clusters.
