Scientific paper

We report on the progress of our search for serendipitous distant X-ray galaxy clusters in the ROSAT PSPC pointed observations archive. The initial aim of our work is to measure the X-ray luminosity function of clusters down to 4 x 10^-14 erg cm^-2 s^-1 and so test the claims of cluster evolution at moderate redshifts. We have R band images and spectroscopy for 45 extended sources detected in 50 of the 100 deepest southern fields. A preliminary analysis suggests we cover a range of distances, from nearby clusters to possible distant clusters, z \simeq 1.0.
