NGC3894 is one of the only three gamma-ray loud young radio sources and a Compton-thick AGN candidate. This combination makes it uniquely suitable to investigate the origin of the X-ray and high-energy emission in young radio sources and the feedback of the expanding source in a dense medium. We request 70 ksec XMM observation to confirm the tentative detection of Fe Kalpha emission line reported with Chandra. The X-ray continuum will be jointly modeled the XMM data with our existing NuSTAR data allowing us to differentiate between reflection vs direct emission as the dominant X-ray spectral component. The X-ray spectrum and radio-to-gamma-ray data will enable tests of radiative and dynamical models for young radio sources with implications for an early feedback process with host galaxy.
