“…Thus, it is imperative to minimize the number of diffraction peaks during the experiment itself. This necessitates either minimizing the footprint of the beam on the diamond with a small and mechanically stable beam (Pascarelli et al, 2004(Pascarelli et al, , 2006(Pascarelli et al, , 2016Baudelet et al, 2011;Pascarelli & Mathon, 2010;Mathon et al, 2004Mathon et al, , 2015Kulow et al, 2019;Kantor et al, 2018) or replacing crystalline diamonds with (expensive) polycrystalline diamonds (Ishimatsu et al, 2012). The second problem with the DAC is a weakening of the signal-to-noise ratio (i.e.…”
