If only native amplitudes are used for structure determination, then additional 'theoretical' information is necessary to determine their phases. For use in a phasing procedure, this information can be formulated as a selection criterion (figure of merit) which assigns a reliability weight to every trial phase set and…

The performance of a CsI photocathode for hard x rays (8–46 keV) was compared to a Au photocathode using synchrotron radiation. We found that the sensitivity of CsI (100 nm thick) is 20–100 times higher than that of Au (30 nm thick), depending on the photon energy. The time response for 40 ps pulses is also improved s…
