The D1 cluster sample: an XMM and CFHTLS view
M. Pierre and the XMM-LSS collaboration

We present our X-ray cluster detection along with the associated optical validation procedure., This results in a complete sample of some 20 clusters over the 1 deg2 D1 area out to a redshift of one: the highest cluster density to date. We discuss the cluster properties and how this fits within the context of the LCDM cosmology.
