We characterize galaxy orbits in nine massive clusters (0.19<z<0.45) from the CLASH-VLT survey by determining their velocity anisotropy profiles, \u03b2(r). Leveraging an unprecedented number of spectroscopic members (150 to 950 per cluster), we reveal significant differences in orbital distributions across clusters and investigate the causes of this variance. By comparing our results with z 0 clusters and two sets of cosmological numerical simulations, we show that \u03b2(r) carries key information on a cluster’s assembly history. Finally, we use clusters from the DESI survey to test theoretical predictions regarding the \u03b2-dependence of cluster assembly bias in the large-scale structure.<\/p>\n
