(a) The normalized average photon counts of the Bragg peaks in three measured datasets: 3 fs pulses (2.7 × 10¹⁷ W cm⁻²), 10 fs attenuated pulses (3.4 × 10¹⁷ W cm⁻²) and 10 fs full power pulses (1.3 × 10¹⁸ W cm⁻²). (b) The data-quality metrics CC* and R_split for the datasets measured with 3 fs pulses, 10 fs attenuated pulses and between the halves of the two datasets.
