Title: Multivariate analysis of x-ray scattering using a stochastic source

Abstract

The normalization of scattered intensity by incident flux is a crucial step in analyzing data from stochastic x-ray free electron laser sources and is complicated by non-linearities traditionally attributed to detector saturation. Here we show that such non-linearities can also arise when the sample spectra are non-uniform within the monochromator bandwidth. A method for modeling and removing this non-linearity using multivariate regression with shot-by-shot x-ray photon energy as an independent variable is presented. In conclusion, this approach demonstrates the benefit of event building and will allow for a reconsideration of data which has proven challenging to normalize.

Figure 1 Figure 1: X-rays with 70 fs pulse widths and 120 Hz repetition rates are generated by electrons accelerated into the FEL undulator via a SASE process. The x-ray photon energy, E, is estimated using a combination of calibrated electron BPMs and position-energy dispersion curves [19). The x-ray intensity, I1, exitingmore » the undulator is measured using the FEE gas detector. The variable line-spacing monochromator [20), together with the slits downstream from the monochromator, reduces the x-ray bandwidth from -10 to 2.25 eV centered at E0 • The x-ray intensity downstream from these slits, I0, is measured using the GMD [11,12]. X-ray scattering is measured in the end-station using an APD. Steering, focusing, and other optics and diagnostics are omitted for clarity.« less
