Abstract

Fluctuation X-ray scattering (FXS) is an extension of small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering in which the X-ray snapshots are taken below rotational diffusion times. This technique, performed using a free electron laser or ultrabright synchrotron source, provides significantly more experimental information compared with traditional solution scattering methods. We develop a multitiered iterative phasing algorithm to determine the underlying structure of the scattering object from FXS data.
