Abstract

Accelerator-based Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED) is a technique for studying both static structure and sub-100 fs dynamic structural changes on the atomic scale. In this paper we present the first electron diffraction results, obtained in 2014, on the Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator (VELA) at Daresbury Laboratory. Diffraction patterns were observed with much less than 1 pC transported to the detection screen. Single-shot and multishot accumulated diffraction data are presented from single crystal and polycrystalline samples. Apertures of different sizes placed directly in front of the sample offer some control over the contamination due to dark current, but also reduce the charge contributing to the diffraction pattern. We discuss future developments for electron diffraction on VELA, including further beam optimisation, the measurement of bunch length with a newly installed Transverse Deflecting Cavity (TDC), and the plans for pump-probe studies.
