Ordering of randomly orientated diffraction patterns with diffusion map — •Martin Winter, Ulf Saalmann, and Jan-Michael Rost — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme, Dresden

By means of manifold embedding techniques we recover the orientations of an ensemble of diffraction patterns from a randomly orientated molecule, which would be the outcome of experiments at X-ray free-electron lasers. Since the mapping of the orientation to the diffraction pattern is highly non-linear, we use an algorithm capable of dealing with non-linear data, like diffusion map [1].

Diffusion map can handle a certain degree of non-linearity. Problems arise especially when multiple parameters/angles get mixed up in the mapping/formation of the diffraction patterns [2]. This is illustrated with some simple examples which reveal the applicability of diffusion map for scattering problems.
