TY  - JOUR
AB - Ultrafast pump-probe X-ray crystallography has now been established at XFELs that operate at hard X-ray energies. We discussthe performance and development of current applications in terms of the available data quality and sensitivity to detect and analyse structural dynamics. A discussion of technical capabilities expected at future high repetition rate applications as well as future non-collinear multi-pulse schemes focuses on the possibility to advance the technique to the practical application of the X-ray crystallographic equivalent of an impulse time-domain Raman measurement of vibrational coherence. Furthermore, we present calculations of the magnitude of population differences and distributions prepared with ultrafast optical pumping of single crystals in the typical serial femtosecond crystallography geometry, which are developed for the general uniaxial and biaxial cases. The results present opportunities for polarization resolved anisotropic X-ray diffraction analysis of photochemical populations for the ultrafast time domain.
