Cheetah: software for high-throughput reduction and analysis of serial femtosecond X-ray diffraction data

The emerging technique of serial X-ray diffraction requires new software tools for the efficient analysis of large volumes of data. Event selection early in the analysis pipeline is highly advantageous. The described software for classifying, sorting and analysing events is freely available to the general community.
