Abstract

In this poster presentation, the results of recent measurements of the shapes of large He droplets of about 500 nm in diameter will be presented. For this purpose, coherent diffraction images of the droplets were obtained using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free electron laser at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Some images indicate the presence of non-spherical droplets with a large aspect ratio of about 2, possessing stadium shape, in the beam. These images are attributed to the oblate shapes adopted by fast rotating droplets. The contour of individual droplets is reconstructed using an inverse Fourier Transform and compared with the results of theoretical calculations. The vorticity in the droplets is estimated. Different occurrences of stadium droplets in the beam are analyzed.
