Wormlike micelles (WLMs) are ubiquitous viscoelastic modifiers that share properties with polymer solutions. While 5 their macroscopic rheology is well-understood, their microscopic dynamics are less studied because they span a large range of time 6 and length scales. In this work, we demonstrate the use of X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy to interrogate the segmental 7 dynamics of inverse WLM solutions swollen with a rubidium chloride solution. We observe a diffusive scaling of the dynamics and 8 extract a temperature-dependent diffusion coefficient, which we associate with the thermal interactions of the slow segmental 9 dynamics near entanglement points. Further, we probe this relaxation process across the unbranched to branched topological transition and 10 find no microstructural evidence of branch formation in the slow mode. Instead, we observe that the dynamics become more 11 homogeneous and prominent as the temperature is reduced and water content increases.
