‘…on-demand droplet delivery is synchronized to the XFEL pulse scheme, resulting in X-ray pulses intersecting up to 88%...’

4. What was achieved?
Very high level of crystal interception with pulsed source. Up to 105 of 120 acoustically ejected droplets can be intercepted times each second. In during test, 53 at 60Hz were achieved due to
Note: 50,000 frames needed for a complete dataset, ’much more’ than a goniometer based method where the relative crystal orientation can be used to reduce the data significantly.

“Gain” is the relative energy increase of the radiation during one passage in the undulator
typically infrared-THz FELs (shorter wavelength 165 nm demonstrated at Elettra SR-FEL)
FEL amplifier or SINGLE-PASS FEL: starts from external radiation (SASE* or seed)
The problem with oscillator FELs is the reflectivity of the mirrors that goes down with shorter wavelengths.
Single-pass FELs don’t have this problem, so one can tune the electron energy to reach shorter wavelengths

16. Follow up questions
Is XFEL MX a competing or complementary technology for BioMAX?
How do you compare a random crystal orientation process (like waterjet or droplets) to something with known orientation? Is there a general ratio between the two methods in terms of the amount of frame data (ten to one, a hundred to one?)
Is a bent silicon spectrometer something that would be a good instrument to have for future commissioning efforts?
