New method makes simulations at world’s most powerful X-ray laser 50x faster

Researchers at HZDR developed a new simulation method that filters out numerical noise in X-ray scattering models while preserving physical detail.

The approach can make calculations up to 50 times faster, improving analysis of European XFEL experiments.

It could sharply reduce the computing burden for high-energy-density studies and help advance fusion energy research.

The work, involving Tobias Dornheim, Zhandos Moldabekov, and the HIBEF consortium, was published in npj Computational Materials.
