The trickle before the torrent-diffraction data from X-ray lasers

Filipe R N C Maia et al. Sci Data. .

Abstract

Today Scientific Data launched a collection of publications describing data from X-ray free-electron lasers under the theme 'Structural Biology Applications of X-ray Lasers'. The papers cover data on nanocrystals, single virus particles, isolated cell organelles, and living cells. All data are deposited with the Coherent X-ray Imaging Data Bank (CXIDB) and available to the scientific community to develop ideas, tools and procedures to meet challenges with the expected torrents of data from new X-ray lasers, capable of producing billion exposures per day.

The Collection of Data Descriptors contains many terabytes of images, but they will be quickly dwarfed by the data production rates of upcoming facilities such as the European XFEL and the upgraded LCLS II.
