Figure 1
Schematic overview of the model employed for the Monte Carlo simulations reported in this work. Four different contributions were identified, given by the probing beam (in our case, synchrotron plus beamline optics and the Fresnel zone plate used to focus the beam onto the sample), modeled as a photon generator with Poisson statistics, the sample, where the X-ray absorption from the magnetic material takes place, the electronic setup, generating the excitation signal that drives the dynamical process on the sample, and the APD, used to detect the X-ray photons transmitted across the sample. The variables used for each of those contributions are also marked in the figure. |
