The frequently observed association between giant radio halos and merging galaxy clusters has driven present theoretical models of non-thermal emission from galaxy clusters, which are based on the idea that the energy dissipated during cluster-cluster mergers could power the formation of radio halos. To quantitatively test the merger-halo connection we present the first statistical study based on deep radio data and X-ray observations of a complete X-ray selected sample of galaxy clusters with X-ray luminosity > 5x 10^44 erg/s and redshift 0.2<z< 0.32. Using several methods to characterize cluster substructures, namely the power ratios, centroid shift and X-ray brightness concentration parameter, we show that clusters with and without radio halo can be quantitatively differentiated in terms of their dynamical properties. In particular, we confirm that radio halos are associated to dynamically disturbed clusters and cluster without radio halo are more "relaxed", with only a couple of exceptions where a disturbed cluster does not exhibit a halo.

Two-component large-scale radio emission in Abell 2244
Abell 2244 hosts a two-component radio halo whose outer part has a flatter spectral index than megahaloes and a weaker radio-X-ray correlation than the inner halo.

Multi-Wavelength Signatures of a Giant Cometary Radio Halo in MACSJ0417-1154
MACSJ0417’s giant radio halo shows spectral steepening and radio–X-ray correlation consistent with turbulence from a 6:1 off-axis merger that preserved the cool core; pure hadronic models are energetically excluded.
