Datasets for the figures presented in the main manuscript of the publication "Photon-recoil Imaging: Expanding the view of nonlinear x-ray physics" . The dataset Fig2A-red-dots.dat represents also the red dots data in Figure 3A. Fig2B-data.dat and Fig2C-data.dat contain histogram data with each entry (line) representing the coordinates (x,y) in mm on the detector where a corresponding Ne* atom was detected. With these data Fig 2B and 2C of the publication can be reproduced by using the Wolfram Mathematica command lines: Test855 = Import["Fig2C-data.dat"] DensityHistogram[Test855, {100, 100}, PlotRange -> {{-10, 5}, {0, 25}}, ColorFunction -> ColorData[{"SolarColors", "Reverse"}], AspectRatio -> 5/3,(* Background\[Rule]LightGreen,*) FrameTicksStyle -> Directive[Black, 20], ChartLegends -> Automatic] All other data sets contain the data points of the corresponding figure of the publication, with the first entry in each line representing the x- and the second one the y-coordinate value and, where applicable the error bar.
