Noise reduction in X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy with convolutional neural networks encoder–decoder models

Abstract Like other experimental techniques, X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy is subject to various kinds of noise. Random and correlated fluctuations and heterogeneities can be present in a two-time correlation function and obscure the information about the intrinsic dynamics of a sample. Simu...
