Double-focusing mixing jet for XFEL study of chemical kinetics
A novel method for time-resolved study of chemical kinetics using a windowless mixing jet at an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) is described and demonstrated. The short mixing time gives a time resolution of about 250 µs; the design introduces controllable delays after the initiation of a chemical...

| Summary: | A novel method for time-resolved study of chemical kinetics using a windowless mixing jet at an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) is described and demonstrated. The short mixing time gives a time resolution of about 250 µs; the design introduces controllable delays after the initiation of a chemical reaction, allowing the possibility for detection of transient structures by an XFEL beam pulse. Applications may include time-resolved enzyme–substrate imaging or protein folding. |
