a European XFEL repetition rate of 1.1 MHz during this experiment and (b) European XFEL repetition rate of 4.5 MHz. The green shaded area indicates parameter combinations that will result in double-hits that allow the second hit to occur within the horizontal FWHM of the beam; the blue shaded area indicates parameter combinations that will result in double-hits that allow a second hit to occur within in the tail region of the beam, and the grey shaded area indicates parameter combinations that will result in only single hits. This analysis is independent of crystal size (i.e., crystal centre-to-crystal centre hits).
