abstract = {This work investigates the performance of the electrospray
aerosol generator atthe European X-ray Free Electron Laser
(EuXFEL). This generator is, togetherwith an aerodynamic
lens stack that transports the particles into the
X-rayinteraction vacuum chamber, the method of choice to
deliver particles for single-particle coherent diffractive
imaging (SPI) experiments at the EuXFEL. Forthese
experiments to be successful, it is necessary to achieve
high transmission ofparticles from solution into the vacuum
interaction region. Particle transmissionis highly dependent
on efficient neutralization of the charged aerosol
generatedby the electrospray mechanism as well as the
geometry in the vicinity of theTaylor cone. We report
absolute particle transmission values for
differentneutralizers and geometries while keeping the
conditions suitable for SPIexperiments. Our findings reveal
that a vacuum ultraviolet ionizer demonstratesa transmission
efficiency approximately seven times greater than the soft
X-rayionizer used previously. Combined with an optimized
orifice size on the counterelectrode, we achieve > $40\%$
particle transmission from solution into the
X-rayinteraction region. These findings offer valuable
insights for optimizing elec-trospray aerosol generator
configurations and data rates for SPI experiments},
