We propose to make a Chandra observation of a newly discovered high mass comma low density globular cluster. This cluster has properties largely similar to that of Omega Centauri in terms of its stellar mass and its ratio of tidal to core radius comma but its characteristic radii are a factor of about 3 larger than Omega Cen.s. As a result comma this is the first Milky Way cluster for which the stellar density is small enough that dynamical formation and destruction of close binaries will be unimportant comma while having a large enough stellar mass that it can be expected to show some interacting binaries anyway. It will be the first object that can be used to characterize the baseline rate of production of these systems in a low metallicity comma old stellar population.
