The Austrian SAXS beamline - at the interface between nano & bio

Abstract
Belonging to the first beamlines it has been constructed and operated in collaboration with ELETTRA since 16 years focussing initially to time-resolved nanostructure determination in the submillisecond time domain. Consequently, over the years, the beamline has served many user groups coming from very different science communities and has established a strong profile from material sciences, biophysics till biology in both, in-house and external research. Nevertheless the beamline is in a continuous process of renewal and improvement to keep up with the state-of-the-art and challenges of science. This presentation should give a short overview starting from the performance, status up to the some highlights of SAXS applications. Special attention will be given to the framework of current collaborations within ELETTRA.
