Abstract: With x-ray and XUV single-shot diffractive imaging on free nanoparticles it is possible to investigate structure and shape of the particles. The scattering image of the nanoparticle only contains the intensity distribution but not the phase of the scattered light. Thus, numerical methods are required to infer information from experimental data. In the thesis, different reconstruction methods are implemented, advanced and applied to different scattering scenarios to characterize diffraction patterns for different laser parameters, reconstruct optical properties and 3d shapes of nanotargets.
