Abstract

It has been suggested that the MeV beam generated from a laser-driven photo-cathode rf gun can be used for ultrafast electron diffraction (UED). The feasibility of operating the NSRRC photo-cathode rf gun system for ultrashort bunch generation is being investigated. The results of space-charge tracking calculations show that a low emittance, few hundred femtoseconds MeV beam with reasonable bunch charge can be generated for single shot UED experiments. In this report, a preliminary design of this UED system will be discussed.
