X-Ray Luminosity Function of High-z Clusters of Galaxies.

The rest of this chapter contains the main body of the paper `A reanalysis of the X-ray luminosities of clusters of galaxies in the EMSS sample with 0.3$<$z$<$0.6.' as it appeared in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002, 330, 631. For the sake of clarity the title, author list, keywords and acknowledgements all appear in A.1. The references appear in the main list at the end of the thesis.
