Innovative low-energy ultra-fast electron diffraction (ued) system

RadiaBeam, in collaboration with UCLA, is developing an innovative, inexpensive, low-energy ultra-fast electron diffraction (UED) system which allows us to reconstruct a single ultrafast event with a single pulse of electrons. Time resolved measurement of atomic motion is one of the frontiers of modern science, and advancements in this area will greatly improve our understanding of the basic processes in materials science, chemistry and biology. The high-frequency (GHz), high voltage, phase-locked RF field in the deflector allows temporal resolution as fine as sub-100 fs. In this paper, we show the complete design of a UED system based on this concept, including an optimized electron gun, a high-resolution RF deflector, and the post-interaction imaging system.
