Intensity correlations were initially used in astronomy for determining the diameter or the separations of stars [1]. Recently, it was shown that this technique can also be employed in the x-ray domain to reveal the arrangement of atoms in crystals or molecules that scatter incoherent x-ray fluorescence photons [2]. Correlating incoherent fluorescence photons, a larger volume of the Fourier space is accessible and elements specific imaging is possible [2]. Here we present numerical simulations of this technique, including correlating photons in 3D Fourier space, rotation of microcrystals when jetted in a beam and normalization of the correlations. We also discuss the influence of different sources of noise.
