The project involved collaborative activities to address, in a synergetic exploitation of proprietary, archival and simulated data, the following goals: (i) the reconstruction of the gas density, temperature and metal abundance profiles in well-selected samples of clusters; (ii) to constrain with unprecedented accuracy the total and gas mass 3D distribution; (iii) the study of the accretion phenomena in the outskirts; (iv) detailed analyses of the ICM properties in the cores and their physical link with the nuclear activity in the central galaxies, also as function of the cosmic epoch; (v) the comparison between these observational constraints and the predictions from dedicated analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations. In this context, we started a new, unique project based on the collection, reduction, analysis and full scientific exploitation of the X-ray data of one of the only 2 AO-17 XMM-Newton "Multi-Year Heritage" programmes granted, CHEX-MATE.STAMPAenConference paper10.36116/MEMSAIT_93N2_3.2022.13https://www.memsait.it/MemSAITvolumi.php2022MmSAI..93b..98EFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
