Abstract: Acoustics-based techniques are investigated to focus and bunch nanoparticle beams. This allows to overcome the prominent problem of the longitudinal and transverse mismatch of particle stream and x-ray beam in single-particle/single molecule imaging at x-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL). It will also enable synchronised injection of particle streams at kHz repetition rates. Transverse focusing concentrates the particle flux to the (sub)micrometer x-ray focus. In the longitudinal direction, focused acoustic waves can be used to bunch the particle to the same repetition rate as the x-ray pulses. The acoustic manipulation is based on simple mechanical recoil effects and could be advantageous over light-pressure-based methods, which rely on absorption. The acoustic equipment is easy to implement and can be conveniently inserted into current XFEL endstations. With the proposed method, data collection times could be reduced by a factor of $10^4$. This work does not just provide an efficient method for acoustic manipulation of streams of arbitrary gas phase particles, but also opens up wide avenues for acoustics-based particle optics.
