Figure 1
XFEL pulse characterization using single-particle diffraction. Schematics of the single-particle diffraction experiments using focused single XFEL pulses employing the fixed target sample loading scheme are shown. Au nanospheres of diameter 100 nm are randomly located with respect to the focused XFEL beam with the intensity reflecting on the X-ray beam profile. Each single nanoparticle receives different photon flux depending on its location within the X-ray footprint. |
