| abstract: | Radio-frequency (RF) photoinjector-based relativistic ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) is a promising new technique that has the potential to probe structural changes at the atomic scale with sub-100 fs temporal resolution in a single shot. We analyze the limitations on the temporal and spatial resolution of this technique considering the operating parameters of a standard 1.6 cell RF gun (which is the RF photoinjector used for the first experimental tests of relativistic UED at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; University of California, Los Angeles; Brookhaven National Laboratory), and study the possibility of employing novel RF structures to circumvent some of these limits. |

| abstract: | Recently, a scheme for producing ideal uniformly filled ellipsoidal beam distributions, which depends on the strong longitudinal expansion of an initially very short beam under its own space charge forces, has been demonstrated at the UCLA Pegasus Laboratory. Here we present further work on the characterization of this novel regime of operation of a photoinjector. In particular we study the sensitivity of the generation of the uniformly filled ellipsoidal distribution from the initial transverse laser profile. The ultra-high brightness of the beam created operating in this ‘blow-out’ regime is verified obtaining high quality relativistic electron diffraction patterns from thin Al foils. |
