XLO utilizes a train of XFEL SASE pulses to pump atomic core-states. The resulting amplified spontaneous emission radiation is recirculated in a backscattering Bragg cavity and subsequently amplified. XLO could provide fully coherent, transform-limited X-ray pulses with 50 meV bandwidth and 1e10 photons. Currently, XLO is being considered for operation at the copper K-alpha line at 8048 eV. In this work, we focus on the optimization of gain medium delivery in the XLO cavity. We consider a fast, subsonic jet of copper nitrate solution, moving through a cylindrical nozzle. We focus on the nozzle geometry optimization and possible diagnostics of the jet-XFEL interaction point.}, publisher={JACoW Publishing, Geneva, Switzerland}, author={Yadav, Monika and Galtier, Eric and Halavanau, Aliaksei and Majernik, Nathan and Malinouski, Andrei and Manwani, Pratik and Naranjo, Brian and Pellegrini, Claudio and Rosenzweig, James and (Ed.) and et al.}, year={2021}, month={Sep} }
