We propose to observe a recently discovered radio-loud quasar at redshift z=6.82 this quasar is both the most radio-loud and the most radio-luminous quasar known at z>6 comma and appears to be powered by a supermassive black hole experiencing super-Eddington accretion. VLA images have revealed an additional structure 25 arc seconds openParvirgul125 kpc comma projectedclosePar away comma potentially indicating large jets associated with the extreme accretion rate. If these jets are interacting with the Cosmic Microwave Background comma which has an energy density that scales as openPar1+zcloseParelev4 comma we expect to see significant extended X-ray emission around the quasar. Our proposal will provide the first X-ray observations of a radio-loud quasar at z>6.
