Abstract
To gain actual information on atomic dynamics, we need to process the raw scattering information obtained in the experiment. We will first look at how the scattering information can be converted. Then we will learn that considering single-photon events helps to overcome the challenge of particularly low intensities and allows for efficient data processing. Finally we will see how the obtained data can be connected to theoretical models and that data processing can be optimised to provide a direct feedback during the experiment, thus helping to efficiently use the synchrotron beamtimes.
