abstract = {Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) is an emerging
method for data collection at free-electron lasers (FELs) in
which single diffraction snapshots are taken from a large
number of crystals. The partial intensities collected in
this way are then combined in a scheme called Monte Carlo
integration, which provides the full diffraction
intensities. However, apart from having to perform this
merging, the Monte Carlo integration must also average out
all variations in crystal quality, crystal size, X-ray beam
properties and other factors, necessitating data collection
from thousands of crystals. Because the pulses provided by
FELs running in the typical self-amplified spontaneous
emission (SASE) mode of operation have very irregular, spiky
spectra that vary strongly from pulse to pulse, it has been
suggested that this is an important source of variation
contributing to inaccuracies in the intensities, and that,
by using monochromatic pulses produced through a process
called self-seeding, fewer images might be needed for Monte
Carlo integration to converge, resulting in more accurate
data. This paper reports the results of two experiments
performed at the Linac Coherent Light Source in which data
collected in both SASE and self-seeded mode were compared.
Importantly, no improvement attributable to the use of
self-seeding was detected. In addition, other possible
sources of variation that affect SFX data quality were
investigated, such as crystal-to-crystal variations
reflected in the unit-cell parameters; however, these
factors were found to have no influence on data quality
either. Possibly, there is another source of variation as
yet undetected that affects SFX data quality much more than
any of the factors investigated here.},
