NanoMAX: A hard x-ray nanoprobe beamline at MAX IV

• We describe the design of the NanoMAX beamline to be built among the first phase beamlines of the MAX IV facility in Lund, Sweden. NanoMAX will be a hard X-ray imaging beamline providing down to 10 nm in direct spatial resolution, enabling investigations of very small heterogeneous samples exploring methods of diffraction, scattering, absorption, phase contrast and fluorescence. The beamline will have two experimental stations using Fresnel zone plates and Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror optics for beam focusing, respectively. This paper focuses on the optical design of the beamline excluding the experimental stations but also describes general ideas about the endstations and the nano-focusing optics to be used. The NanoMAX beamline is planned to be operational late 2016.
