	RadiaBeam, in collaboration with UCLA, is developing an inexpensive, low-energy, ultra-fast, streaked electron diffraction (S-UED) system which allows one to reconstruct a single ultrafast event with a single pulse of electrons using and RF deflector. The high-frequency (GHz), high voltage, phase-locked RF field in the deflector enables temporal resolution of atomic events as fine as sub-100 fs. In this paper, we present an overview of the system being developed and the initial experimental results. We also discuss the challenges based on our design of a UED system that incorporates a novel, high-resolution dielectric-loaded RF deflector and a solid-state X-band amplifier.

Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT’s) as field-emitters have been investigated for more than two decades and can produce relatively low emittance electron beams for a given cathode size. Unlike thermionic cathodes, CNT cathodes are able to produce electrons at room temperature and relatively low electric field (a few MV/m). In collaboration with FermiLab, we have recently tested CNT cathodes both with DC and RF fields. We observed a beam current close to 1A with a ~1cm² CNT cathode inside an L-band RF gun. Steady operation was obtained up to 650 mA and the measured current vs. surface field plot showed perfect agreement with the Fowler-Nordheim distribution.
