abstract = {X-ray free electron lasers (X-FELs) produce ultrafast
pulses in a wide range of lasing configurations, supporting
a wide variety of scientific applications, including
structural biology, materials science, and atomic and
molecular physics. Shot-by-shot characterization of the
X-FEL pulses is crucial for the analysis of experiments as
well as for tuning the X-FEL performance. However, for the
weak pulses found in advanced configurations, e.g., those
needed for monochromatic, two-pulse studies of quantum
materials, there is no current method for reliably resolving
pulse profiles. Here, we show that an interpretable neural
network (NN) model can reconstruct the individual pulse
power profiles for sub-picosecond pulse separation without
the need for simulations. Using experimental data from
low-signal X-FEL pulse pairs, we demonstrate a NN can learn
the pulse characteristics on a shot-by-shot basis when
conventional methods fail. This new method enables the
characterization of weak pulses—a condition expected to
dominate future experimental configurations such as at the
Linac Coherent Light Source-II—and opens the door to a
wide range of new experiments.},
