Laue-DIALS: Open-source software for polychromatic x-ray diffraction data

Rick A. Hewitt, Kevin M. Dalton et al.

Most x-ray sources are inherently polychromatic. Polychromatic (“pink”) x-rays provide an efficient way to conduct diffraction experiments as many more photons can be used and large regions of ...

High-repetition-rate ultrafast electron diffraction with direct electron detection

F. R. Diaz, M. Mero et al.

Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) instruments typically operate at kHz or lower repetition rates and rely on indirect detection of electrons. However, these experiments encounter limitations ...
