Time-resolved imaging of isolated molecular dynamics with a MHz repetition-rate relativistic electron probe

POSTER

Abstract

Developments in the time-resolved imaging capabilities of isolated molecules at the Advanced Photo-injector Experiment facility at LBNL have been made. We report on progress in ultrafast, 750 keV, electron diffraction measurements from gas-phase molecules (GUED) with sub-{\AA} spatial and 200 fs temporal resolution. Headway towards first direct-observations of photo-driven molecular dynamics via impulsive alignment using the High Repetition-rate Electron Scattering beamline will be discussed. Upgrades to the GUED apparatus will be presented accompanied by recent experimental results.
