We develop a new algorithm for the computation of the rotationally averaged elastic molecular diffraction signal for the cases of perpendicular or parallel pump–probe geometries. The algorithm first collocates the charge density from an arbitrary ab initio wave function onto a Becke quadrature grid [A. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 1988, 88, 2457], providing a high-fidelity multiresolution representation of the charge density. A double sum is then performed over the Becke grid points, and the interaction between points computed using the scattering kernels of Williamson and Zewail [J. C. Williamson and A. H. Zewail, J. Phys. Chem. 1994, 98, 2766]. These kernels analytically average over the molecular orientations with the cos²γ selection factor appropriate for one-photon dipole absorption in a perpendicular pump–probe geometry. We demonstrate that the method is converged with small grids containing <500 points/atom. We implement the algorithm on a GPU for increased efficiency and emonstrate the algorithm for molecules with up to a few dozen atoms. We explore the accuracy of the independent atom model (IAM) by comparison with our new and more accurate method. We also investigate the possibility of detecting signatures of electronic transitions in polyatomic pump–probe diffraction experiments.
