The Nanofocus Endstation of the MiNaXS Beamline at PETRA III — •Christina Krywka1, Stephan Roth2, Ralph Döhrmann2, and Martin Müller31Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Leibnizstraße 19, D-24098 Kiel — 2DESY, Notkestraße 85, D-22603 Hamburg — 3GKSS Forschungszentrum Geesthacht, Max-Planck-Straße 1, D-21502 Geesthacht

The former PETRA storage ring of DESY (Hamburg) was refurbished into PETRA III, one of the most brilliant x-ray sources worldwide. All beamlines of the new 3rd generation synchrotron radiation source are currently in their final state of completion.

The MIcro- and NAnofocus X-ray Scattering beamline (MiNaXS) is equipped with two endstations, out of which the farthest is designed to provide a high flux, monochromatic x-ray beam (8-25 keV) focused to a size of about 100nm * 100nm.

Due to the low divergent, sub-micron sized focus experiments with a superior spatial resolution and a flux sufficiently high to study both biological and synthetic materials will very soon become routinely available for nanodiffraction experiments at this endstation of MiNaXS.

This contribution presents the current status of the nanofocus endstation and future extensions. Along with the latest commissioning measurements exemplary and potential applications of nanofocused x-rays are shown. Their applicability to life and materials science is demonstrated on the basis of the availability of high flux density and coherence; both being key-features of the new PETRA III source.
