Fig. 4. Results from the computational study.

a Calculated scattering cross sections for a 50-nm sucrose cluster exposed to a 180-fs, 25 $\mathrm{\mu }$J/$\mathrm{\mu }$m${}^2$ pulse and comparison of the damaged (blue) to the undamaged (red) clusters as well as classical scaling model (black dashed line). b Comparison of dynamic scattering efficiency (DSE) from the calculations (blue) to the experimental results (black markers). The shaded area indicates the water window. The error bars for the experimental results are computed from the uncertainties of $F_0$ and $I^o$, as shown in Fig. 3.
